Are you saying that the objective of a car is to kill?
That's the sole reason for guns, they're killing machines.
Another idiot thread.
So are cars. The day my father handed me the keys to the car for the first time, he told me to remember that 2000 pounds of metal is a lethal weapon and he was right.
And the purpose of guns is protection or hunting for food. BTW, I am not a gun fan but I know that the pupose is to protect or hunt. Yes, you can kill with a gun but you can kill with a car too. I could plow my car through the front window of a restaurant and take out a few people.
You can just as easily say "Cars don't kill, people kill" as you can "Guns don't kill, people kill". If we had outlawed cars at the beginning of the year, how many people would be alive today?

Life involves risk.
Cars are not designed for the sole purpose of killing. Guns are.
Besides "in the United States, only motor vehicle crashes and cancer claim more lives among children 5–14 years old than do firearms."
"Overall, before a child in the United States reaches 15 years of age, he or she is 5 times more likely than a child in the rest of the industrialized world to be murdered, 2 times as likely to commit suicide and 12 times more likely to die a firearm-related death."
Guns are manufactured and sold with one purpose in mind: to kill. Cars are manufactured and sold with one purpose in mind: to get people from point A to point B. If you can't understand the difference then you're not smart enough to be trusted owning a gun. Maybe an IQ test should be required to own a gun if the OP's logic is typical of gun owners.
Another lib with absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You're clearly beyond help.

However, since the ownership of my car is regulated on so many fronts - from licensure, to registration, to banning certain types of vehicles, to inspection in many states - perhaps the OP can get behind more regulation?
After all, the 2nd Amendment protects a WELL REGULATED militia. Not grown man-children who play with guns to make them feel like men.
And another who doesn't know what they're talking about, either in regards to cars or guns. Ownership of a car isn't regulated at all. Anyone with cash can go and buy one and drive it all they want on private property without any licensing, insurance or registration.
You would think if someone were going to try and quote the 2nd amendment they might have some clue what it actually says, but as usual the gun banners get it wrong. Do you know what an independent clause is? You should have learned it in grade school.
"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
The main purpose of cars are to transport people over distances in a short period of time. The only purpose of the Bushmaster rifle to kill as many people as possible. Is that the goal of society?
And yet cars still kill more people than guns.
More wet dreams from a gun grabber, all you can think about is killing. The only purpose of a Bushmaster is to fire a projectile - period no more no less. What people use it for is something else, the VAST majority of them are used for fun target shooting.
No one really wants to ban all guns either. People are just discussing the possibility of more regulations--just as we have regulations for cars, such as driving tests, DUI laws, speed limits, manufactuer safety regulations, seat-belts, stop lights and so on...
That is a complete bald face lie. Every single thread about guns here has at least one person calling for a complete ban on guns.
