Well heck, by that logic, we shouldn't be worried about drunk drivers either, since they only kill about 13,000 people a year, versus the probable millions of times drunk people get behind the wheel.
I'm not sure what the illegal act of drunk driving has to do with the legal ownership of firearms. A better comparison would be to people who operate their autos legally. 12% of all auto fatalities involve alcohol intoxication*, meaning that the majority of fatal auto accidents do not involve drunk driving. Should we outlaw autos?
