We have strict restrictions on who can operate an automobile. Licenses must be routinely renewed. Vehicles must be registered and inspected annually. Every registered vehicle must be insured. You know, common sense regulation.

Digging around for anecdotal accidents etc. in a country of 330+ million is an odd way to make a valid point.

Posts and threads like this are the NRA's best friends because you come off as extremists bent on warping the truth and most normal people see right through it.

In fact, I hear the same arguments from you guys as I did when we have stormfronters pop up on this forum. "hey look was this mexican illegal did", or "another bunch of black guys shooting each other".

It's ugly and it's unconvincing.

*cough*

And yet people violate all those laws every day.

Well, I guess we shouldn’t have any laws at all, if people are just going to break them. Thanks for showing me the light.

13% of motorists drive uninsured.

Uninsured Motorists

Oh, it gets better....because so many uninsured drivers are wait for it......unlicensed and uninsured illegals.

In florida it's 27% of the drivers......

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-dan...sured-drivers/

You just face planted into one of the core themes of the pro-gun folks....that people don't follow the laws.

I absolutely cannot wait to hear the responses to this post. Will it be either:

a) Wow, that's huge news, I have to consider that. (lol...just kidding, we know better)

b) Drive-by style empty post then fleeing the topic.

c) Complete evacuation, run and hide under the bed from reality.

Again, you’re arguing that people break laws as a reason we shouldn’t enact laws?

Thank you for posting this. It is often hard to determine if someone deserves to be added to my ignore list on city data. Since you seem to lack critical thinking skills to the point you would make such a claim is very helpful. Have a great day!

For realzzzz my nizzle? Lots of news reports about somebody jumping into the river, lake, pool, ocean, etc to save a drowning person and they end up dead. Sometimes they drown but are able to save the drownee or they both drown and die.

Well, now, I’m sad. You refuted my point, and pointed out my intellectual deficiencies.
