What isn't true? If you violate traffic laws you are committing a crime, which makes you a criminal. All motor vehicle crashes are preventable and are the result of reckless, impaired, or distracted driving, all crimes. There are ~30,000 injuries from car crashes in MN in an average year with ~ 400 fatalities. In Minnesota on average there are ~450 gun fatalities per year, but more than 75٪ of those are suicides. So just over 100 criminal homicides. Numbers on non fatal gun shot injuries are harder to pin down, but do not match 30000 going by hospital visits. Criminal driving is exceedingly more dangerous and common than criminal assault with a fire arm. Pretty simple.
