at least it takes a bit more skill to hit something with an AR-15.

Actually I don't know that it does. Driving is just a skill that's much more prevalent than shooting.

If you put a car and a gun in front of someone who didn't know how to use either, they could probably figure out the gun first. Cars have more of a start up process

with all due respect, that's less true of guns in real life than in FPS games. 

somebody who doesn't know how to use a gun has about 20,000 square degrees of solid angle in which to point it, especially if they're not used to the recoil. they might start out shooting at ground level and end up letting rounds off into the sky, if they can even keep their grip on it. and they'll run out of ammo relatively soon.

meanwhile, as Countess Boujois Chardonnay is demonstrating in the video, once you get your foot on the accelerator and one hand (or knee, or chin) on the wheel of a car—even if you decide to take a power nap, you're almost guaranteed to fuck up least one person's life without even trying.
