60,000 deaths/year from on the road traffic accidents. How many from
LEGAL use of firearms again? I forgot your *statistic.*

Actually annual highway deaths have been around 42,000 last 5 years
although last year was around 37,000 due to the bush depression. But it's
still much higher than the 32,000 annual gun deaths - and half of those are
suicides and shouldn't count.
