You make a good point, but car use is orders of magnitude higher than gun use, and I would expect accidents to be proportional to use. If guns kill as many as cars with so much less use, it's very scary!
If you compare it to other nations, the statistics are also worrisome:
"Compared to 22 other high-income nations, the U.S. gun-related murder rate is 25 times higher. Although it has half the population of the other 22 nations combined, the U.S. had 82 percent of all gun deaths, 90 percent of all women killed with guns, 91 percent of children under 14 and 92 percent of young people between ages 15 and 24 killed with guns."
