Cars are used everyday by a large part of the population and are very useful and often essential for transportation.

Guns are only useful in rare cases for preventing or stopping crime, and most people don't have one or if they do they have never used it beyond practice.

Do you think that we are familiar with cars and driving, and so find the risks acceptable? Or is it that because most people want to drive, they rationalize the risk?

PS. I live in the country and have most of my life. A gun is a very useful tool if you live in an area with wild animals.
