For all of you that are antigun

Have you ever used one?

If not what makes them more dangerous a car?

Cars don't fly through the air faster than the speed of sound and turn your brain into mush.
We do need more guns that fire cars though.

I think the cars work on the brain mush thing. The gun fired car idea is giving me food for thought.

If one gets very very angry, it takes just 1-2 minutes to take the gun from the safe and bam! aim it at their brains or their spouse's.

But it takes at least 10 minutes for them to enter the garage, start the car and get to a street where they could run someone over, or bump into a brick wall.
Plenty of time for them to change their mind.

You are making the assumption that they weren't sitting in the car in the first place. How many times have you seen people having arguments in cars. Good grief road rage. My point is cars can be used as weapons as quickly as guns can but no suggests we need car control. The misuse of a thing most of us own.

Yeah but any nutjob with a bit of rage could do the same with anything.
Before long we'll be discussing butterknife control because someone went on a rampage with one.

Ok. Let's make it so you must have insurance and pass a test to legally use a gun.

You're also talking about the misuse of one thing and the proper use of another.

Good point actually.

But I guess a car can also be thought of as a basic necessity (especially for those who live in places that are spread out and have few buses), whereas a gun could be thought of as a luxury item. For a car, the benefits outweigh the risks by far.

I never fired a shot, but I would Never keep a gun in my house for that reason. I'm a bit impulsive and forgetful too , and even if I would never do the sort of thing that I mentioned, I wouldn't trust myself not to forget the gun lying around in the house (it only takes one time, if there's a kid around) or not to do something like silly target practice, if I got very drunk.

Which is really my point. I have friends that are truly afraid of guns. They don't want them in the same room as them because they can kill. Then they happily walk into the kitchen pull out the butcher knife and go to work. Tools are tools. What you do with them is the difference. Cars are much more lethal than guns if you look at the body count.

You should lurk for six months or maybe try the Political Forum for a year before trying this again.

 

[SexyAlison]

I've never used one and I'm very anti gun.

I would bet there are a lot more cars around than guns though.
I don't see the big deal really though. Guns rarely kill people without a person pulling the trigger.
Short of mandatory psych evaluations, it's not really possible to know who will snap and who will be responsible.
I think guns and cars should both be limited to those of us with enough intelligence to grasp them.

I am OK with training on a gun.

You totally lost me on your second point.

Lance I like when you add to the conversation but this was totally vapid.

Why? You have never used one and anti. Just curious.

No, they shouldn't.
But that was a crazy person that stole a gun.

I think teens should kill each other with cars, as god intended.

Mow down the fat chicks in Home Ec with mom's Equinox.

Would you like me to Google all the accounts of elderly people driving into crowded streets and killing pedestrians? The weapon then was a car.

Yes. Provide a full list with totals.

I was once in the middle of a city and a guy decided that he didn't want to wait in traffic, so he drove up onto the pavement and just started beeping his horn but didn't slow down.
I'm genuinely surprised that nobody was hurt.

 

[Christobal]

Yes. Provide a full list with totals.

How many dead bodies will be enough to satisfy you. Research takes time.

 

[Darbhinder]

What a lame thread, op didn't think it through. Typical dumbass.
