Autos and guns have uses, though not everyone wants one.

I've always advocated for required training for new owners prior to new or used purchases.

Also, annual public school safety training classes for all students and all parents.

And strict penalties for mishaps and firings and injuries do to neglectful storage or handling.

Long sentences for violent criminals, and on and on....

But people who use Australia as a model are looking for a ban, which is entirely different.
