Car accidents kill far more people than guns each year in the US and in the world.
Should be ban automobiles also since they are the weapon of death? I lost a very good friend when I was 15, I was in the vehicle also when a maniac going over 100 MPH struck our vehicle while running a stop sign. Our car ended up over 100 yards away from initial impact.
I learned that day it is people who kill other people, they will find a weapon regardless of any law or ban.
Your first sentence offers a rather poor analogy since it compares accidents to purposeful actions.
As to your second point, vehicles and firearms are inanimate objects, lacking agency or intent. It requires a human being to purposely use either as an instrument of death. However, the two aren't on equal footing in terms of ease of use, concealability or overall access. Unstable individuals aren't driving vehicles into classrooms, banks, movie theaters, shopping malls, churches nightclubs and committing mass slaughter.
The two aren't comparable and any attempt to suggest they are feels disingenuous at best.
