Yes, in most countries the chance to die in traffic is much higher than to die by a gun... because the gun deaths are so low.
But not in the US of A. In 2017 and 2018 almost 40,000 people died by guns and these numbers overtook the number of traffic deaths. Congratulations!
Not only the chance to die by guns in the USA is more than 10 times than in most Western European countries... the added chance to die in traffic is also much higher.

The chance to die in traffic in the USA is 4 times higher (per capita) than in the UK and 3 times higher than in Germany.
