The same comparison can be made with horses and cars.

According to the FBI statistics, you are more likely to be killed with a blunt instrument than a rifle. You are over 4x more likely to be murdered with a knife than a rifle (any rifle, including grandpa’s old single shot, not just the scary looking ones). Who would like to ban or restrict hammers and knives, since it’s the tool that is at fault, alongside the rifles? Or is this logic only applied to the one tool that has political overtones, regardless of the fact it causes less deaths?

The politicization is over the top, there is no doubt about it. And then there is this.
