Drinking and driving is yet another factor, as is the fact that more people drive and own cars than do own guns (and considering most who own guns keep them at home or use them exclusively for entertainment at the firing range, this number is drastically reduced). Point being that we are exposed to and around cars basically all day (assuming you leave your house). So your argument holds little weight if you were to think about it.
But, I digress as you failed to answer the original question...are you in control of the millions of other people who also have "complete" control of their guns?
My meaning is simple, can you control someone else's use of their own gun?

not trying too, can't control anyone with a knife, sword, spear, bottle of gasoline and a match, bad temper etc . . . or for that matter with a killer dog . . have you ever had a 150 lb dog go after you being held on lease by a 90 lb lady? that right there is a good reason to have a gun and I wish I'd had my gun with me that day . . that was an unpleasant experience . . just walking in the park minding my own biz and here comes some asshole with a killer attack dog . . that dog could have killed me and the woman prolly would have just walked. now that's total BS . . lets outlaw dogs?
