Edit: <cut>
first off you say its quantity, now you say its the design, so how often do you change your socks ?
</endcut>didnt notice t was 2 different users :P
A gun is designed to kill, well yes, so if something is so lethal how come it causes less than one tenth the damage of something designed not to kill ?
Now we can go on to car manslaughters/murders. I'd also be willing to bet that more people get away with negligent manslaughter/murder by poor driving than there are actual accidental gun deaths. Like driving a few mph over the limit, or changing your cd and suddenly you have a 4 year old on your bonnet etc.
