Cars, trucks and heavy equipment aren't designed to kill lots of people

What they were designed for isn't a very important issue, what they actually do is more important.
In any case killing people is a legitimate purpose for a tool. Nothing wrong in designing such a tool, or using it for that purpose, as long as its legitimately used for that purpose. Murder is illegal. Self defense is not.

And of course that's not the only purpose for guns. (Just as getting to some destination isn't the only purpose for cars).

Its not true that every car owner is.

Then they are breaking the law.

Not at all. The "is" in the statement you quoted above is (as the context in my post makes clear) "is required to purchase liability insurance". It is not true that every car owner is required to purchase liability insurance.

Some states don't require any auto insurance at all. Others states only require that you pay a fee (such as $500 in VA) if you don't have insurance. The fee is not some sort of high risk pool, no insurance is provided for paying the fee. Other states only have an insurance requirement for cars driven on public roads.
