Smart guns are one solution to your question and are the next evolution in gun safety, but have significant push back from the NRA because there is some implied argument that nothing can be touched with guns.

Well since we can both agree there are laws in place and procedures that should be followed, what else can you do protect everybody from themselves while still having the ability to defend themselves on a moments notice?
You keep comparing building and manufacturing with the ability to own and use.
Sure cars are safer because of regulations, just like guns are. But those regulations don't stop somebody from accidentally backing over a child in the driveway. It doesn't stop them from getting behind the wheel when they shouldn't. It doesn't make them perform maintenance on their brakes when needed. It doesn't make them pay attention 100% of the time while driving. So accidents do happen. You can't build this "eutopia" where nothing can go wrong. Crap happens and that's life.
Would you rather live in a society where you have the chance to protect yourself, your choice? Or would you rather live in a society where somebody else decides you can't because another person made a bad decision and you have to pay the price for it with your life?
