25. Because they are being misused

Dec 2012

Cars are also misused and kill thousands of people every year

So the police stop speeders and they have sobriety checkpoints
they have been able to "catch" people misusing cars
So, they still sell cars
And the dealers make millions of dollars

what we are trying to do is find a way to identify people who will misuse firearms
but we are finding it difficult to do so people are liooking to limit the types of
firearms that can be purchased to ct down..
