People don't talk about "Vehicle violence" when referring to those killed by criminal acts involving automobiles (such as DUI). Guns are tools. Just like vehicles. When tools are used irresponsibly or with evil intent, the problem is the irresponsibility / evil intent. The problem IS NOT the tool used.
