Indeed, if you count the 505 accidental gun deaths, and if they were all reported on in the media, it would seem like a real outbreak, someone dying more than once per day.
So I tried to explain that although the per capita gun accident deaths are about 2 times the US over Canada, that the number 505 is tiny. Something like 30,000 are killed in car deaths, and another 30,000 (or so) in falling accidents.
Am I going about the argument the right way?

Yes you are but cars, to a liberal, aren't as evil as guns. Those dastardly guns have a mind of their own when it comes to killing innocents, donchaknow.
Liberals have already made their minds up, obediently repeating the talking points they've heard.
The problem of entering a debate with a fool is after a couple minutes, nobody can tell you apart.
Partly.
Tell them that a lot of U.S. citizens would rather shoot a Congressman or his staff than give up the Second Amendment.
Tell them many Americans are tired of all the infringements on the Second Amendment.
Tell them if Canada had the same level of the same minorities that the U.S. has, they would have the same problems, and guns are not the cause.
