[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We sacrifice 40,000 people to the automobile a year, and driving isn't even mentioned in the Constitution. So probably some multiple of that. [/quote]

That’s a false equivalency though.  Driving has multiple prosocial purposes.  Guns have one purpose: killing.

Mass shootings aren’t an accidental byproduct of some other activity, they [i]are[/i] the activity.[/quote]

I wouldn't call driving a prosocial activity though. Not on an individual or social level. The car has led to the destruction of the American landscape, the isolation of people from their communities and a crushing financial burden. The car kills people, cities and nations. Guns only kill people. [/quote]

Let’s not conflate metaphorical killing of cities with literal killing of people.  That’s irrelevant.

Guns are designed to murder, and marketed as such.  Cars are not advertised based on how many pedestrians they can mow down.[/quote]

Guns are no more "designed to murder" than cars are designed to kill other drivers and pedestrians.  Both can be used for legal and valid purposes, or abused.  The variable is the operator, and that's where the focus should be, not on the instrument they use improperly.  [/quote]

Guns are literally designed to kill something. There is no other function it performs. [/quote]

+1. Children are put at risk everyday because loser men who like to play soldier don't want their toys taken away. Why does an ordinary citizen need an AR-15? [/quote]
