Cars aren't built with the express purpose of killing people, there's the difference.
Unless you factor in the wars waged to protect our "right" to cheap gas, the long-term effects of pollution, etc. Fortunately, these things happen either far enough away that we can't see, or over a such a long time that we don't notice.
Maybe the average person accepts the risk of cars, but not of burglars and AR-15s?
Any tool is a weapon if you hold it right. Do we ban all tools that might be misused, or do we educate people on the proper use of tools?
I note that the mass shooting incidents are more common than they were 20 years ago, almost as if there were long-term changes in the public psyche. Perhaps there are other factors involved that have nothing to do with the number of guns.
