My question is why can we come to a conclusion based on statistics regarding cell phones and not be able to reach the same conclusions for firearms.?

                     Cell-phone benefits equal risk, study says
                     It finds value users place on calling from the road has as much weight as accident
                     costs.

                                                                 WASHINGTON – Researchers say
                                                                 increased cell-phone use has led to
                                                                 more crashes caused by drivers on
                                                                 the phone, but the value people place
                                                                 on being able to call from the road
                                                                 roughly equals the accidents' cost.

Well, why don't we change the article, by replacing "cell phones" with guns... and have it republished.
