I don't think it's as much an outrage thing as it is a control thing.
Sure, cars are unsafe and thousands of people die on the roads every year, but I am a good driver and I won't have a bad accident like that. If I do it's my own fault.
Yes, eating too much is bad for me but it's my own fault - I could just eat less.
(side note - if I believe it would be my fault if I die of something, I'm going to believe if you die of that thing it's your fault)
Kids getting shot at school - not their fault and there is nothing they could do to avoid it.
Being blown up by a terrorist's bomb? Nothing you could do as an individual to avoid it.
