Well, as for motor vehicles, I'd like to see similar requirements for licensure, registration and insurance applied to firearms. As for the other items, let's address the most frequently-used "tools" for deadly violence first, then let's talk about the others.
The most consistent tool used in murder, regardless, is the human hand. No matter what is wielded by that hand, that hand is acting on behalf of a criminal or otherwise deranged mind to kill someone, regardless of what (if anything) it is holding. Ban hands, and people will still find a way. (yes, hands AND feet are lumped together in the uniform crime statistics as weapons used to inflict blunt force trauma).
Once again, you and those of your ilk ignore the instances where the mere presence of a firearm prevented death, instances which far outnumber the cases where tools were misused by people to cause unjustified homicide (firearm shooting deaths include those shot while perpetrating crimes, too, iirc).
If the interest is in saving lives, you go with what works best, and we have that except in areas where firearms are needlessly banned to create free fire zones for criminals.
