Thereby proving the point vehicles are far more dangerous so if the .us was to consider banning a part of their constitution of the right to be able to act in self defense bearing arms, then really cars should also become a consideration for banning. and fully validating the comparison. |
The bit that makes the comparison invalid is that a Gun is designed to kill, simple as. A car is designed to transport people/goods but can also kill if used improperly. If a car was designed to kill with transportation being of secondary importance I think the comparison would hold more wieght.
