I'm a member of BMW Car Club of America and own many vehicles myself. I'd prefer that high speed cars (that go over 65 MPH) be highly restricted in this country.
Are you seeing the problem in your arguement? Fast cars kill ALOT more people IN ONE DAMN DAY than all illegal machine guns have since 1933.
No, I don't see the problem with my argument. Perhaps you can further elucidate. I think if illegal, or legal, machine guns were widely available here in the states, we'd see them used far more widely.
They are hard to get, or you have to be a bit of a gunsmith to make the conversion from a kit. Consequently, they're not much a factor in crime here. I think the gangbangers would have them if they could get them. And I'd rather they didn't.
"Fast cars kill ALOT more people...."
Wait a second there, it is not fast cars or the speed that kills people, it is the poor driving that does it. Case in point, the Autobahn has a lower number of deaths than any US highway at much higher rates of speed. They have had cars travelling over 100 MHP that have lost control & crashed and the people inside walked away.
30,000 deaths a year from automobiles. 11,000 deaths a year from firearms.
How many cars are driven every day? How many guns are fired every day?
The ratio of gun deaths to guns fired is hundreds(if not thousands) of times higher than the ratio of car miles driven to car deaths.
Not a good comparison.
