Can anyone make a coherent argument that guns are LESS dangerous than cars? i doubt it...

120. You are still wrong.

How do you know what I buy?

I do the purchasing and maintenance for the company vehicles, along with alot of the other capital expense items. Last year we bought a small cab over to move containers back and forth from the port. I negotiated with the dealer, the company cut a check, I delivered the check, the dealer delivered the vehicle to our shop. The year before that we purchased an F-450. They do not give a damn what we are going to do with that trucks, they never even asked.

As far as the drivers license, you need one to buy a gun too. Same same.

But, your still talking new. I can buy any thing I want used, and as long as I have cash no one is going to ask me squat. I do not think you should be able to acquire a gun that way, right now you can.

but if you want to use it, there are many regulations

And, as far as the comparison to use. I am pretty sure there are "regulations" against shooting people. Pretty sure there are "regulations" saying you can not carry a weapon into school. Once you have made the decision to kill someone, you have decided to break the law. I want it to be harder to get that weapon, unlike a car.

Just like there are "regulations" against driving a car without licenses, registrations, and insurance. If you are willing to pay the penalty for doing those things, you can do them. People drive with bad tags and no insurance every day, those "regulations" that you think guns should be held to same standard as are broken hundreds of thousands of times a year.

You said it, "guns are cheaper and easier", and they should not be. Guns should be considerably more difficult to acquire than a car. Registration, ownership, and transfers need to be controlled a hell of a lot more than cars. And the penalties for breaking those "regulations" should not be able to be an hour class on "defensive driving" or a $250 fine.

Cars/Guns ... horrible comparison.
