46. What a very odd thing to say.

Cars have absolutely no purpose in killing. There purpose is transportation, solely.

But, the similarity between guns and cars is quite clear. They are both, potentially, deadly weapons if misused. Both need to be regulated by our central authority, the Federal Government.

Virtually all gun humper's I have ever communicated with would agree, wholeheartedly, with your viewpoint. How odd.

I often use the similarities between guns and cars to argue in favor of gun control. Dangerous things need to be regulated. Logical, not odd at all.
