The only reasoning I can come up with is that the benefits of car ownership outweigh the 40,000 yearly deaths.

I don't know about that. I personally bought my car for the explicit reason to kill/protect myself and hunt(don't knock road kill til ya try it!). Way more convenient than a gun and I can maul over innocent bystanders while jamming to classic rock tunes! Turn it up, man

As soon as you admit that the preservation of our 2nd Amendment rights, as loosely interpreted in today's America, is worth 30,000 deaths a year.

How is that relevant? Logically, it makes no difference. Zero.

Do you consider the benefits of transportation by automobile to be worth 40,000 deaths by year?

A lot of gun control advocates happen to be pro-public transport/anti-car as well.

A few deaths mean nothing to me. My advice to the people shocked at school shooting is this: SUCK IT UP. People die, even kids sometimes, and S***t happens.

Sir/Mam, I think you illustrate what's wrong with American society.

Exactly. I will say the unthinkable: THE OCCASIONAL MASS MURDER IS WORTH THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE TO OWN GUNS AND BE FREE.

Will they say the same thing about the right to drive or own a sword?

I'm just pointing out the obvious.

Nonsense. You're one of the smarter posters around here so chill with that bullsh*t.

It comes down to reasonable expectations. When I get in my car, I know the odds. But a car is a necessity in most of America.

No one expects to drop their kids off at school at 0800 hrs only to have them shot the eff up by 0930.

But of course, you knew that already for the reasons that I outlined in my first sentence. SMH...

Unreal.

Finally, some moral clarity.
