“It’s Done For A Car, Why Not A Gun?”

Shall Not Be Infringed.

What are your thoughts about asking the question in reverse? If we don’t do it for guns, why do it for cars?

Cars were not part of the original Constitution, that's why. Another thing to compare is all-time death by vehicle in the US against death by firearm.

Was actually looking up stats on this just now to verify. Looking like guns have increased over vehicles, due to suicide.

Driving isn't a right.

Then there would be no stopping it, anything that was potentially deadly would have to have the governments "permission" to do.

Have to draw the line somewhere, and the founding fathers did just that.

This is a society problem, not a gun problem.

My thoughts: Fuck off homely stoner dyke.

My gun don't have blinkers.

Yet...

Reducing motor vehicle crash deaths was one of the great public health achievements of the 20th century for the US. However, more than 32,000 people are killed and 2 million are injured each year from motor vehicle crashes.

less than 50%

Well it seems that with licencing for motor vehicles , death still does occur.

So that as a remedy does not seem to work.

My car is not a right, but my gun is! My car is public knowledge my gun is not. I don't need to license something that's fundamental to my existence. Creating more ways for the government to make money by stripping me of my rights is a crime.

it's not done for gun so

why do it for a car?


.

not due to suicide,

it's due to massive drop in car deaths from better vehicles.

.

BECAUSE CONSTITUTION.

True true. Should of stated that in my previous post. I was actually wondering while looking at the timeline graph on what kind of legislation or safety standards that were put in place around 2006 to start the drastic decline.

The right to bear arms, literally, means the right to roll up your sleeves to show off your muscles.. Careful about trying to read it literally!

No, that actually means you are entitled to have arms like a bear

You Canadians are funny.

Because car ownership is a privilage. Not a right. You have the right to free travel through the US but that car wouldn't be going anywhere unless you have a driver's license which grants you the PRIVILAGE to drive on the roads. Which are owned by the Government.

Oh you are right! The 2nd amendment actually says people have the right to own bear arms, perhaps mounted on the hood of their car, like antlers, or hanging from the mantle over the fireplace.. yes..

That could create a shit ton of jobs, boost local economies, and ensure legal carriers are trained.

People following the law and registering their guns are already submitting, so adding a layer of submission while simultaneously increasing safety for legal carriers sounds like a fair process.

Rights are defined by the law if not specifically enumerated in the constitution , in this case the constitution has something to say. In the case of cars it does not.

Now let's look at alcohol verses gun deaths :-

This is an old stat so you could assume they are higher now.

2013 National Drunk Driving Statistics

290,000 Americans were injured by drunk driving crashes

10,076 deaths from drunk driving accidents

Someone is injured every 2 minutes from a drunk driving crash
There are 3 drunk driving deaths per every 100,000 drivers
Drunk driving rates are highest among 21 to 25 year olds (23.4%)

2 out of every 3 people will be involved in a drunk driving crash in their lifetime

28 people die per day in the United States from drunk driving (1 every 52 minutes)

29.1 million Americans admitted to drinking and driving
Drunk driving costs the United States $199 billion per year

_28 people die per day in the United States from drunk driving (1 every 52 minutes)

There were 33,636 due to gun violence from 1999-2016

Pay particular attention to the pie chart on this link , notice that over half the gun deaths are due to suicide.

With 37.2 % due to homicide.

These figures cover the years from 1999- 2016

covers 7 years , we could extrapolate out a multiplication of that now with 10,076 deaths from drunk driving accidents in only one year and the figure for the charts for gun related crime covers the 7 year period.
The multiplication of the drunk driving figures by the factor 7 gives us:-

70,532

Where is the offended outcry and rage over the higher rate of deaths from alcohol??

marxist control freaks, gonna try and control. the right to own and bare arms shall not be infringed! fuck off!

that’s where my line of thinking immediately went

Another very valid point!

Yes you just have to look at the gun suicide figures add the drug related figure for suicide and you see how much of a problem there really is.

It could even go as far as being trained on the proper use of water, in order to prevent drownings.

The 2nd Amendment does not say that the right to drive shall not be infringed.
