no? both of them can be either an accident or murder in principle; maybe it is more common for gun killings to be murders and car killings to be accidents, but that isn't a matter of law

Let's not spread misinformation just because it helps a good cause.

It's not misinformation. It's explaining that if you want to off someone, proving murder with a car is much more difficult. You have reason to be driving a car. You have less reason to be brandishing a gun.

Yeah, but if you run over your ex while they're out for their morning jog, for example, the police will absolutely be after you.
