Yet Michael Bloomberg, Moms Demand Action, and Everytown for Gun Safety have not uttered a peep about Ford, Dodge, or Toyota control. They are utterly consumed with a new gun control push framed around accidental firearm deaths.

At the same time, though, don't think that "progressives" aren't seeking to control motor vehicles. Much of the effort is in the name of safety.

Here's an example from an article that has a related thread here:

De Blasio jaywalks as he preaches road safety

The new mayor has made pedestrian safety a key objective of his administration. On Tuesday, he laid out a sweeping “Vision Zero” initiative to end traffic deaths that includes lowering the city speed limit to 25 mph.

New York isn't the only city with "Vision Zero."

Yep. They want automatic braking so you can't run the checkpoints...

Leave my auto manual, please.
