Could be a good comparison if cars were designed to kill people.

If only guns had all the safety gear cars had...

With a spike in deaths, the government did step in in the 60's and create the Highway Safety Act.
Much like gun deaths today, the 60's saw a dramatic increase due to the proliferation of the automobile. So, they enacted common sense measures to help reduce injuries and fatalities. A lot of the measures worked. Particularly the way cars were designed. That was due to government regulations.
Flash forward to today. Gun fatalities, for the first time, are predicted to outnumber car fatalities.
Yeah, some awesome comparison you got there....
Flash forward to today.
