If I remember right, if you discount suicide by guns, car fatalities then outnumber gun deaths by double. Yet no calls for car banning, and they will even let kids as young as 16 drive. I’m 50 years old, grew up in New york city and recently moved out 2 months ago being that it is now a despotic state, and in all that time I’ve known two people who were shot: A friend of mine who was shot in the arm by a cop who mistook him for a car thief, and my uncle who was shot oddly enough in the arm again by a robber who was running from the cops. That’s it, 2 people. But when it comes to car/vehicle fatalities, I could fill up this page with all the people I knew who were killed including 2 relatives.

I know of at least 6 who shut themselves in the garage with their car running.

Which to ban? Cars or garages?

Note gray area was this prediction, not actual numbers.
