The cognitive dissonance over guns isn't the worst one, though -- it's the part where a traffic accident on the parkway could leave you in the hospital through no fault of your own, and bankrupt soon after; and that this could happen any time during your car-based commute, morning and night, even if you had a good third-party insurance carrier who didn't wriggle out of paying for care.

Sure and if you've got the choice you do things to prevent that like getting a modern car that's safe instead of daily driving an 80s Hyundai Excel...

Meanwhile getting shot by someone (accidently or not)... Not much you can do about it...

I'm pretty sure a body armor costs less than a new car

You'll wear body armor in your sleep? Also, even if I probably won't die from it, getting shot in the leg probably isn't fun either

... Or the head.

However unlikely, it is possible.
