[QUOTE="smathis30, post: 350259, member: 1803"] Once the whole car thing was brought up, i figured this was gonna be said. cars are designed to bring people from one place to another. But you also have laws in place for who can get a license, continual testing for skills, mandatory training, mandatory registration and insurance as a way to mitigate risk, etc. Same things don't apply to guns.
