The Toll of Gun Negligence

[holdencaufield]

1. 32,885 Deaths

Due to automobile negligence in 2010 alone ...

Automobile driving is a privilege, not a right
Automobile makers are for profit companies -- supported in large part by the US government.
Many people own more cars or larger cars than they "need"
People can sell cars privately without background checks
There are more than 6 million unregistered vehicles in private hands

What we need is "common sense" automobile regulations

-- hidden criminals (people who operate vehicles while drinking, taking prescription meds, or are just not as smart as the rest of us) need to lose their license forever
-- one-strike and you're out need to be enacted for traffic violations
-- strict limits on horsepower, number of seats, colors and accessories of automobiles need to be established and bans on models that violate those limits
-- All automobile associations (particularly the AAA) need to be audited or disbanded for promoting an unsafe activity
-- Federally-administered psychiatric tests need to be established for all new drivers and administered periodically for existing drivers

Any more?
