Cars kill far more people than guns, and yet we make little or no effort
to restrict their use.

Huh? Care to elaborate on that statement?


Any moron can get a drivers license, buy any car they can afford (or
connive somehow), and drive as fast as they want on any road. You can
have bad vision, a criminal record, you don't even have to be literate
or speak English.

The way many people drive "accidents" are not accidental, they're a
foregone conclusion. Cars kill a LOT of people, far more than guns, or
most diseases. The cost in serious injury & long-term disability is far
higher yet. 99% of fatal car wrecks could easily be avoided... all that
needs to happen is for people to get some common sense & drive accordingly.

Our society has blinders on.
