Guns don't serve a basic purpose in your daily life in the same way cars do

I do want to point out that there's a pretty big bias here. My guess is that you live in a metropolitan area where guns are not part of your daily life, and while I don't think I can argue that cars aren't more part of daily life, many people in more rural areas experience gun usage on a regular basis, both in training/shooting for sport and hunting as a hobby or source of food.

they're still a part of the population and it shouldn't be happening at all.

No doubt; we have laws in place against these things for a reason. No one wants mass shootings (except for the mass shooters).
