Numbers may agree, but the psychological factor also needs to be taken into account.
If you embed fear into peoples heart that their kids or family might get killed because of someone else when they are most vulnerable (schools, work place - places where we think we are safe) it is a different ball game.
If you see shootings in airports or malls, it ruins it for everyone.

Given that "over 10,000 people" died from firearms (where that number is higher than the drunk driving number), I'm not sure how you figure this.
It may be worth keeping perspective that over 10,000 people in the U.S. died from drunk driving in 2016.
School/workplace shootings are scary, but if we really care about saving the most lives, we have much bigger fish to fry.
