Well you could save a lot more lives by banning automobiles altogether, wouldn't you? Why not make that argument? Around 30,000 lives are lost each year in automobile accidents in the U.S. alone (that's 15 9/11s!). Same argument could be made for banning fast food, mountain climbing, skydiving, etc., etc. Why not ban every dangerous activity?

This is the slippery slope you are taking us down when you decide that giving up freedoms is worth it in order to save lives.

No, because accidents will happen. Fill yourself with an intoxicant and you’re choosing to drive with your ability to drive and reflexes impaired, that’s your choice and not an accident. That’s not the cars fault. Do you blame the gun for gun crime? No, you blame the person committing the crime, right?
