Dumb comparison.

Cars are used FAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR more frequently.

If you took every bullet fired from every gun in the U.S. for the whole year, the total probably doesnt come close to the number of cars driving around on any given day.

It's really not important. If 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10,000 or 100,000 people killed them self with a car on their property, I strongly support the right of the people to end their life on their own property. The role of the government is not to keep people from harming themselves. The government is a framework not mommy.

This costs the U.S. billions annually including costs for medical care, mental health, emergency transport, police, criminal justice and lost taxes.

When lost productivity, lost quality of life, and pain and suffering are added to medical costs, the annual cost of automobile accidents could be as much as 100 billion dollars.
Cars need to be outlawed!

Actually driving while tired causes many deaths. We can thank the liberals for that people will need to work more hours just to make up for what they are losing in pay. So there will be that many more tired folks on the road!

Cars are used daily to make Americans more productive and make a living.
But guns don't pollute. Cars do. Remember AGW?

We need to make this illegal with double penalties. That would make these people think twice before doing this.

All it took was a guy who knew how to weld and drive a dozer. Millions of dollars damage and a whole town practically destroyed. Fawk Adam Lanza.

But, but, but....how can you be so callous? If we can save just one life by lowering the speed limit to 55mph on all interstates isn't it worth it? Why not?

How about making cellphone use while driving a felony?

A death is a death, no matter the person is 101 years old or 1 year old. Why can the left not understand this, the instrument used does not make a difference. Unless your a leftie with an agenda.

If you are killed by a Dr., you are still dead, if you are killed by a car you are still dead....
