They are indeed violent, and we should give these perps the DP - woops, that would be moot. Why not compare the number of deaths from motor vehicles to those of guns? More deaths and far, far more injuries could be prevented by banning cars (or reducing the speed limit to 10 mph) than by banning (or limitting the ammo capacity of) guns and there are no constitutional issues to make that hard to do.
I'd be happy to compare cars, which are heavily regulated, to guns. In addition to requiring licensing and restricting where they can be, we also use cars more often, and the amount of time used should be included in the calculation to determine how dangerous they should be considered.
