Fucked up. How come the media doesn’t argue for “car control”?

Edit: this went over real well. I’m quite aware of car regulations. I do think we need to give people less access to cars. And by people, I’m specifically taking about people from Pennsylvania, Maryland and of course Delaware

I don't know why you're being downvoted, because that is basically what we need.

Should regulate them the same as guns.

Anyone driving without a license forfeits their ability to get a license in perpetuity, as well as a mandatory 5 year prison sentence and $10,000 in fines.

Accidentally kill someone? Another 5 years. Kill multiple? 5 years each. Do it negligently, aka DUI? Life in prison.

They’re already regulated far more than guns. It’s not a good comparison.

Cars need licenses and insurance. You have to pass a skills test to operate one. Cars are registered and the registration information is easily searchable by any law enforcement officer. There's a central database in every state of every car owned and every owner.

I hope this helps.

Because we already have "car control". We have license, registration, insurance requirements. We have traffic laws, safety laws, entire industries built around this. There's probationary licenses. There's required driving lesson hours. There's infinitely more regulations surrounding cars than there are guns.

And just like with guns we don't enforce any of those laws in the city.
