There are approximately 31,000 gun deaths a year in the US. That's like a 747 carrying around 500 people, crashing about every 6 days, all year long. Every 6 days a huge plane crash!
Now, if that were happening, what would we do? Would we ban 747's? I think we probably would, after about the 7th or 8th crash, maybe sooner. We certainly wouldn't give credence from the planes maker calling a press conference to announce the solution is to fly more 747's.
