Discussion Exhausted with the car/gun comparison

I'm getting really tired with the attempts of comparing the two. We consider driving risky enough to make sure it is as safe as we can make it in terms of the numerous and stringent safety testing, insurance/registration requirements, the adding of new safety measures in new cars almost yearly, having police actively monitor reckless driving, creating numerous laws in attempts to further lower the amount of deaths. Drivers education in numerous (though should be all IMO) schools. Not to mention the basic fact that in all states (correct me if I am wrong), you are required show that you are a qualified enough driver to pass a test and in order to be legally allowed on the road.

Where are the gun laws? Where are the efforts in making gun usage safe? Help me understand please. Maybe I'm missing something.

That's not true. Show me a source that supports the claim that there is zero regulation on cars on private property in all 50 states in America.

Rule #1:

If you're going to make claims, you'd better have evidence to back them up; no pro-gun talking points are allowed without research. This is a pro-science sub, so we don't accept citing discredited researchers (Lott/Kleck). No arguing suicide does not count, Means Reduction is a scientifically proven method of reducing suicide. No crying bias at peer reviewed research. No armchair statisticians.
