If you negligently kill someone with a firearm you're going to face negligent homicide, or involuntary manslaughter charges. That's rather severe. You get more of a slap on the wrist if you kill someone driving your car irresponsibly.

I'm honestly glad to hear it.

Depends on the state. CA is the poster child for going way too far. Utah may be too permissive. However, given the choice I'm better with less restrictions on a law abiding citizen's rights than the opposite. Ironically, the CA state legislature is proposing to reduce the prison sentence for crimes committed with a firearm, while at the same time they've criminalized regular law abiding gun owners. Doesn't make much sense does it?
