(13,685 posts)I also fear getting into car accidents. So I wear a seat belt and keep good tires on my cars. I don't passenger with crazy drivers. I drive slower in the rain and slow down at intersections. I follow speed limit laws (mostly).
Indeed, since there are more car drivers than gun owners, driving is more dangerous. But when was the last time a crazy car driver was responsible for killing ten people in a school room where it is thought everyone was safe?
And as far as you seeing where I am coming from, all I can say is that you don't see. But to try once more to have you see, here is my statement:
We need much better gun control laws in this country. Other countries have better gun control laws and fewer deaths per capita. It is the fear for the innocents and empathy for the victims that makes me see that we need better laws.
And Fuck the NRA.
