(2,560 posts)As are poor drivers, for whatever reason.
But drivers don't generally target people. We had one case a few weeks ago where some idiot drove (intentionally!!!) into some protestors in Charlottesville.
But apart from such arseholes, drivers don't intend to kill or injure others.
The same can't be said for guns. Yes, the vast majority of gun owners are responsible. They have firearms for protection or hunting or sport or whatever.
But you have 26 people dead in Texas. 58 dead in Vegas. And the list goes on and on. Someone on DU gave us a list of about 7 or 8 mass shootings in November alone. Sorry, I don't have a link. But 7 or 8 shootings in November. The month hasn't really started.
The two just don't compare. People will be stupid. People will cause accidents. When was the last time a drunk driver caused the death of more than 10 people? And how often has that happened?
But guns???????
Give me a break.
Please, there's no comparison.
