Is there a difference between accidental traffic deaths and intentional shooting deaths?

In a way, no: dead is dead. But random traffic violence is much more likely than the forms of random violence that Manhattan Institute types write op eds about. As a resident with no beef and a spouse that doesn’t own a gun, in much more likely to be hurt by a car than some other criminal

Not all traffic deaths are accidental. Many of them are caused by negligent or reckless driving that goes unpunished.
