The argument that Problem A is more important than Problem B because it has a bigger number attached to it is only really relevant if we are forced to make a choice between them in some way, e.g. for resources, money, physical space etc. But apart possibly from how police time is used, or Parliamentary time, gun control isn't really in competition with road safety for anything. We can reasonably be concerned about both.
I agree - and can't put it any more elequantly, so I'll leave it to you.
Suffice to say gun killing sprees and road deaths have no correlation / connection or similarity and should be dealt with separately
