When kids die in cars do you want to ban cars or do you want to look
at the real cause of the wreck?
It is like blaming Ryder rental trucks for the bombing of the WTC in
93 and the Murrah building.


It is absolutely moronic to equate deaths from accidental car wrecks
with the mass murders taking place in schools. That can't be part of
Loonytarian Think, is it?


It is not that off base when you look at the current thinking about
drunk drivers.
Their wrecks are not "accidents" they are crimes and the assumption is
that the vehicle is a deadly weapon.
There are far more drunks than there are mass shooters and they kill
many more people. We still have not banned alcohol or demanded
universal breatholizers on car ignitions. It is clear that this would
save lives, people are just not willing to be that inconvenienced
simply because thousands of people are killed.
