Whereas gun deaths per 100,000 is 10.6 and driver deaths per 100,000 is 11.4.

The problem with comparing deaths per 100,000 population is that it does not take into account how much of that population takes part in an activity or how often. Without knowing that, it tells you very little about how dangerous an activity is (such as driving or riding a bike).
