The difference is that traffic deaths are caused by accidents, preventable perhaps, but not deliberate acts. Most "gun deaths" are a result of someone's deliberate act. No amount of *legitimate* safety features are going to prevent those acts. Thus all the cries for "gun safety" laws, are just smokescreens for more gun control.
Nice try, but no Kewpie doll.

So gun accidents kill 33 children per year. Hmm. What about bottlecaps?
"Sadly, statistics indicate that there are 3,500 additional poisonings of children under age 5 each year".
What about other accidents involving children?
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reports that each year in the United States:
• Residential fires injure about 12,000 children 14 years old or younger. Preschool children die in fires at twice the national rate.
• About 50 children die in crib-related incidents and about a dozen die from choking on toys, balloons and other children's products.
• About 83,000 children 14 years old or younger were treated for burns in hospital emergency rooms (1997 data).
• Poison control centers have responded to about one million calls involving children under five years of age since 1990.
• More than 350 children under five years of age drown in swimming pools; most of these are in home pools. Almost 3,000 young children are seen in hospital emergency rooms because of near-drowning incidents in pools.
• More than 3,000 children age 14 or younger are treated for carbon monoxide poisoning in hospital emergency rooms.
• More than 3,000 children under 10 years of age are treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries related to inserting objects into electrical outlets.
• About 4,700 children 14 years old and younger are treated in emergency rooms for injuries caused by falls from windows.
• Thousands of children under six years of age are identified with elevated blood lead levels, which may cause damage to a child's developing brain. Nearly 900,000 children are estimated to have elevated blood lead levels.
