Statistically speaking, getting killed by a tornado is minuscule, yet my city invests millions in warning systems, shelters, and has building codes in place to ensure buildings can withstand a hit.
Statistically speaking, getting struck by lightning is minuscule, but I am still forced to leave a golf course, exit a stadium, etc. if a single lightning strike is visible in the area.
As a society we recognize that the danger of these events, no matter how minuscule they are, are worthy of governmental regulations and policy. This is not about the .00003 (or whatever)% being overblown, it is about the value of life (Young/old) having no real value when compared to the right to own guns.
