More than three 9/11 every year die from cars , and we are doing piss about it

we addressed the drunk driving laws.

That has slowed the issue but there is still slaughter on the highway and we seem to be blind to these deaths, whom are mostly young . The Highway system kills more people than guns, it kills move people than cigarettes, and we still have 70 mph roads and cars that go 120mph.


In total ford has killed more children than S&W ever will

AND...you have to have to be insured and licensed to own and operate that weapon.

eta...this was to be an adjunct to Tril's post, not tor's. So it sounds like Im saying that doing so hasnt changed anything with cars so why would it change for guns. But what I wanted it to sound like is..why is there a system of accountablility for a cars but not guns?

I've got young drivers in my house. PA has upped the requirements for hours spent driving with a more experienced person riding shotgun. People still drive for shit though.

As a rabid gun owner myself, I'm all for a system like licensing and or registering firearms in a manner similar to vehicles. Not yearly, but once per firearm and then have a title that would need to be presented to sell or transfer.

I draw the line at insurance.

It's important to remember that half the people out there are below average. It explains so much.

Not to mention that nearly 1/3 of all drivers on the roads are caused by accidents.

Nicely played sir, nicely played.

Not so, sir. Half the people are below median.
I'm not sure how to measure driving skill, but when it comes to personal wealth, something like 99% are below (mean) average.
If that translates to driving skill, no wonder there's so many crashes.

Wasn't licensing and registration of all firearms mandated by Stalin and Hitler? This later led to confiscations. Anyway it goes, good luck trying to figure out how many I have and where they all are.

Oh puhlease. Stalin and Hitler. For goodness sake .

I'm sure many Jews expressed your thoughts in the early 20th Century. Why does it matter to you? You have already lost your rights.

As far as the numerous references to required licensure and insurance for automobiles, most of you are clueless. Operating a motor vehicle on public roads is a privilige, not a right. This is how the implied consent laws are used. Legally, you don't have to have a license or insurance to operate a motor vehicle on private property.

My firearms are on private property. I hunt on private property. Why should I have to license them? The motor vehicle laws actually set a precedent. Plus, I haven't even touched on trucks or vehicles identified for agricultural use and how they can be operated on public roads without a license.

So if you don't have a firearm or ever even owned a firearm, you don't have a dog in this hunt. I don't harangue anyone on here about their usage of marijuana. Marijuana has led to the violence of MS 13 and the Mexican drug cartels.

It doesn't have the same ring when you put it that way. Besides, it's considered impolite to respond to full-on snark with logic.
