Now mind that I'm not against gun ownership, but that's not a meaningful comparison and I'd question how those numbers were calculated.
You'd need to compare actual rate of usage between the two, not overall numbers, and even then it's still quite a bit of apples and oranges.

After all, you don't have any accidents when you car is locked up in your garage, just like you don't have any accidents when your gun is locked up in its gun case.
