Genuine question: do the lines diverge (and in which direction / how much) if you account for the number of cars / guns per person?

    I want to see it broken down into the fatal and non-fatal portions and also the mental health of the cars at the time of the crash.

    I think the better stat would be time handling a gun/driving a car.

    The average person probably spends about an hour in the car per day (based on some loose numbers I saw online). But I suspect the number of hours holding a gun is a lot less.

    Its kinda like the fact that new Yorkers bite more people than sharks. It isn't because new Yorkers are more likely to bite you, but with eight million people interacting daily the amount of interactions outweighs the odds of a bite.
