(13,598 posts)Cars kill about 1.5 times as many Americans as guns.
But a) cars provide massive benefits, and if you banned or restricted them you'd see more deaths, not fewer, whereas guns provide very few benefits, and gun control would be a large net gain.
And b) cars are already very tightly restricted; before you can get a driving licence you have to go through checks much more rigorous than you need to go through to get a gun in many states.
Conclusion: restricting cars more tightly would be a bad idea; repealing the 2nd and introducing gun control like we have here in the UK would be a good one. (Not that I'm suggesting the democrats should try it; it would be political suicide. But if by a miracle it were to happen, the effect would be positive).
