I see. You compare the number of people killed with all bladed weapons to the number killed using a very narrow category of firearms and you think that is significant?
Last year there were 20 times more people killed in traffic accidents
And Liberals assuming that all shootings are related to assault weapons is better how?
Or the practice of jacking up the shcool shooting numbers by including things like the guy who parked next to a school at midnight to commit suicide or the guy who fired three shots in the air with a starter pistol outside a high school basketball game.
The Liberals are are demanding more controls on "assault weapons" That is the reason for the comparison.
But let's really put the ball in your court. Last year there were 20 times more people killed in traffic accidents caused by cell phone distraction. But you have a "right" to use your cell phone when and where you want. Right?
And you need to pass a test to drive a car, get licensed by the state, and are required to have insurance should you injury someone.
Good job getting yourself wrecked.

A better argument to the car straw man is to point out that automobiles are actually tremendously useful tools in our society, to the point that we're willing to put up with the accidents and deaths and injuries because the benefits far outweigh those costs.
There really is no benefit to society in owning a firearm of any kind, much less an assault weapon.
How many school shootings have not resulted in a call for the cops (with guns), you know, those valueless things you want to just go away? What's an 'assault weapon'?
One armed serf didn't much bother a king's army. One armed woman is overwhelmed by an armed gang. You really think a gang of insurrectionists armed with ARs and AKs will take down the world's most powerful military machine, determined to squash your existential threat?With a gun the serf was as powerful as a king, a woman as powerful.as a man
Funny, I don't see much disarmament in MidEast tyrannies. And your notion of confiscation in USA is nutz. Rounding up all private firearms here is plain impossible let alone unworkable. Try another sick fantasy.The first thing a a despot does is to disarm the population

You are completely correct. I make this argument often. I was just pointing out that it's much more difficult (and expensive) to legally drive a car than it is to own a gun.
I repeat: I would repeal and replace the Second Amendment with one for universal healthcare.

ie Hitler
If you don't think that this could happen again, then you underestimate the depravity of man,and the legacy of history
Hitler never disarmed the German population,the victorious Allies in the Treaty of Versailles (1919)did. In fact private gun ownership rose when Hitler came into power and decided to ignore the Treaty.
The Night of the Broken Glass (Kristallnacht) - the infamous Nazi rampage against Germany's Jews - took place in November 1938. It was preceded by the confiscation of firearms from the Jewish victims. On Nov. 8, The New York Times reported from Berlin, "Berlin Police Head Announces 'Disarming' of Jews," explaining:
"The Berlin Police President, Count Wolf Heinrich von Helldorf, announced that as a result of a police activity in the last few weeks the entire Jewish population of Berlin had been 'disarmed' with the confiscation of 2,569 hand weapons, 1,702 firearms and 20,000 rounds of ammunition. Any Jews still found in possession of weapons without valid licenses are threatened with the severest punishment."2
On the evening of Nov. 9, Adolph Hitler, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels and other Nazi chiefs planned the attack. Orders went out to Nazi security forces: "All Jewish stores are to be destroyed immediately. Jewish synagogues are to be set on fire . The Führer wishes that the police does not intervene. All Jews are to be disarmed. In the event of resistance they are to be shot immediately."3

Exactly. Knives are pretty handy too - good luck slicing that tomato with a pistol. Ultimately, you could probably kill someone with an ice cream cone if you were determined enough.
