a quick google of auto deaths in 2010 showed this: In 2010, there were an estimated 5,419,000 crashes, killing 32,885 and injuring 2,239,000. As far as I know there is no constitutional right to own a car, so by your logic shouldn't we outlaw them?

from CDC fact sheet:In 2010, of the 38,329 drug overdose deaths in the United States, 22,134 (60%) were related to pharmaceuticals. so, do we stop prescribing life saving drugs?

The list could go on and on I think, but the point, which I am sure you-G1- will ignore or miss, is that many deaths occur every year, most are not due to 94 year old people falling peacefully asleep never to wake up. We, as a society, should not so easily give up rights which were fought for, and written in to the backbone of our law because there were people who used or abused the rights and privileges our society has ascribed a value too.

Well, not every one.

Child molesters? No. Serial Killers? No. Rapists? No.

We've tried this numbers logic before, Obama spoiled it by using the "If only one child's life is saved" BS, so now numbers have no meaning.

The argument won't stand because it doesn't fit the utopian narrative. More lives are saved than taken by guns.

I'm only stating that to provoke the numbers people.
