(12,041 posts)If you look solely at the number of deaths then yes cars kill more than guns, cars also kill far more people than heroin does. Does that make heroin safer than cars? No, because the reason that heroin kills less people is because less people use it. People drive cars FAR more often than they shoot guns, if people did all shoot guns just as often as they drove I guarantee you the number of gun deaths would sky rocket.
Saying pot leads to heroin is a hell of a lot different than stating the fact that guns kill thousands of people a year in terrible ways, one statement has no evidence to back it up the other has volumes of evidence to back it up. It is the NRA that is pushing propaganda, not those who are honest enough to admit that guns kill.
