And none of those car restrictions apply on private property.

Well, let me ask you this...when you consider all the people thru history that have died or been seriously injured due to a car accident or malfunction ( I have no idea how many people this is, maybe a million?)...In your opinion, does the benefit cars give to the world, justify the number of lives taken?


(In other words, even though millions of people have been killed by cars...do you think the invention of the motor car has been a good and beneficial thing for the world?)

I really don't have patience for these kind of BS arguments right now.


We are an embarrassment compared to the rest of the world.

But hey, you get to keep your gun...
As always, you're wrong. Ignorant, refusing to be educated and proud of it. 99% of defensive uses of firearms end without anyone being shot, your ignorance of that fact is typical of anti gun nuts who refuse to accept the reality that armed people save lives.

You must be a felon if you think you'd be safer in Mexico than the USA. The overwhelming majority of shootings in the US are multiple repeat felons shooting other multiple repeat felons. Over half of the US has a murder rate of ZERO. 2% of US counties have over 51% of all murders in the US.

Liberals just can't stand it that the US outside of a few of their cities is some of the safest part of the world.

??? What do cars have to do with guns? Sorry, but, you are not making any sense. Why not ask me if water is beneficial to humanity despite the fact that x number of babies drown in bathtubs each year.

"If you ignore all of those people getting murdered, we're super safe!"

What kind of asinine argument is this??
