That goes for motorcycles also.....

Because sometimes some people won't see it until it effects their personal liberty. Everybody loves their own freedom but if it is something they don't care about then they have no problem placing bans on someone else.

Many excuses the gun grabbers use for banning guns I transfered to banning cars and all of a sudden some didn't like it so much.

Too late - self driving electric cars will fix most ever woe that the danged auto has created.

BTW, don't you know that these are already highly regulated?

1. Black Box in Car
2. Cell phone data
3. MPG from EPA
4. etc.....

Some of you dudes are like 50 years in the past....

Places I have visited are very different than what you suggest. VERY.

Wasn't trying to "troll" but a lot of what I have said is true if you equate cars to guns in the argument of limiting. Fact is more than guns America has a huge car following , many who love their car but hate a gun don't like the idea of being regulated to 85 mph, they don't like the idea of being punished for the irresponsibilty of someone who misuses the car to street and drag race. It is true that there are pages of news reports of street drag racing ending in death so why not regulate cars mechanically and with fees to a limit of 85 mph?

They talk about "gun culture" and "military grade" well how about "car culture" and "racing grade"? Any car that can go more than 85 mph belongs on a "racing grade" track not on the civilized streets. They talk about only police need that gun, well then only police need a car that is faster than 85 mph.

They talk about "gun fetish" yet America has a huge market for high performance cars and upgrades that are allowed on the streets.

I don't support neither such gun control or car control but saying. You want me to register my AR with a the government with a special license, well then register your high performance car with a special license ON top of your drivers license. Have your car mandated to alterted to go no more than 85 mph. All of a sudden many who are all for doing so with a high performance gun shrek at the thought of them having to do that with their car because now you are going after something they enjoy and care about.
