Considering the whole world, gun utility for the civilian population is clearly much smaller than car utility. You will also find even in US a higher number of individuals that have at least one car VS number of individuals that have at least one gun.

Sure the reverse might be true for a minority, but the majority scenario is out there with plenty of statistical and empirical evidence.

I'm neither pro nor anti-gun, just stating facts.



Yeah but it's about utility of cars but speeding in cars.


I am not comparing the relative utility of cars and guns, but questioning the claim that the utility of gun ownership is small.


If you're not in a warzone or deep in a jungle needing to fend of jaguars the utility of a gun is likely extremely small.
