Interesting metaphor because we changed the cars to make them safer, improved the roads, added speed limits and added requirements to get a driver license.

What makes gun death so special, that we don't do the same for guns?

According to your logic Kirk was against speed limits, driver licenses and seat belts but cared about lives. I doubt that he thought like that when it came to road safety.

Kirk's point was that we do for guns (domestic violence etc red flags). But like cars we don't ban them.

No.

		So he was pro mandatory weapon training, limits on gun power and capacity? That would be the equivalent of what we did against traffic deaths. Red flags have the disadvantage they come after the damage.
