Taking it literally driving without a seat belt does. The amount of people that were unbelted and died in auto accidents where the belt would have saved them are substantial compared to someone who dropped dead in the process of smoking a cigarette.
You know what I mean, whatever an "assault rifle" is they are demonized way beyond the damage they cause. I would like to see how many civilian deaths (not related to war like conflicts) they cause. It is probably about as high as someone choking while eating.
