My issue (well, one of my issues) with the gun folks is that they refuse to acknowledge that it is a trade off.

Cars do make the world a more dangerous place, but we're also continuously developing ways to make them safer and we do require a baseline proficiency and safety test before you can drive one legally.
When's the last time a gun maker tried to make a gun to kill less people? Back in the 80s the NRA was more about gun safety than making sure every single human being has the right to own a gun. I remember the NRA sponsoring gun safety classes in our schools where they had people come in and talk to classrooms.
