never seen a race car kill or injure 100 people at a night club

You wanna look up the statistics of how many people are killed by cars a year versus how many people are killed by guns per year?

This was about race cars until you made that comment, but on that note i've never seen people driving their handgun to work every day either.

Could have been worse. The killer might have left his gun at home and took his Bic lighter instead. (The UpStairs Lounge arson attack took place on June 24, 1973, at a gay bar located on the second floor of the three-story building at 141 Chartres Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, in the United States. Thirty-two people died as a result of fire or smoke inhalation.)

Some people them for protection, for instance, women with abusive, stalker, ex-boyfriends.
