It's a simple point...for anyone who isn't a political hack with some agenda: a normal person with a motor vehicle can kill and maim more people faster than a normal person with a firearm. It don't matter what the car or the gun was 'intended' for, or what it is normally used for, or any other smoke and BS.
I'll ask it again, since the smart fellers can't seem to bring themselves to answer...
which would you prefer to face if your feet were glued the the pavement...a truck 50 yards away doing 50mph...coming right at you...or some mook with a pistol trying to shoot you from 50 yards away?
I've actually faced people shooting at me...and I'd choose the mook with a pistol every time. So let's hear it from all you 'scholars' who have never seen a shot fired in anger.

If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government -- and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws" - Edward Abbey
