In reply to the discussion: Capitol Hill Shooting Update: Miriam Carey, 34, Dental Hygienist suffered from Mental Illness [View all]The Straight Story
(48,121 posts)25. Waned as well when it couldn't be used in gun debate, so some might actually discuss the person

Hopefully new laws will come up to help prevent people from having cars that shouldn't so such things can be prevented in the future. I, for one, would feel better if we banned 6 cylinder and above cars (except for big companies and the government). Do soccer moms really need such big vehicles? Get rid of fully automatic cars, replace with all standard. And lord knows some paint jobs on cars or ones with lifts and such look damn scary, if we could at least not allow cars to look that way I wouldn't feel so weird when I see one at the park or pulled into star bucks.....
