I keep hearing people say they want to regulate guns the way we regulate cars. They don’t really mean that, of course. What they mean is they want to make it acceptable to find more ways to intrude on the right to keep and bear arms.
I propose instead, we regulate cars the way we regulate guns. Let’s start:

Go read this…the bookmark it and shove it to the first idiot that ever brings the regulate-guns-like-cars analogy.
I was thinking about this yesterday, actually. I’ve been seeing memorials pop up on an awful lot of street corners lately, and I do think that cars should be more strictly regulated. They do kill 3x as many people nationwide as guns, after all.
What do they say? “If it would save even one life?”
