Bad as it is, she does not have to be here in the first place.

People worry so much about the gun deaths, but sweep under the rug that
in the US slightly over 100 people die every day in car accidents. Hard
telling how many get injured really bad.

Looks to me like there needs to be much more thought into how to prevent
car accidents and road rage.



We have done a LOT more about car accidents than we have gun incidents.

But nobody has talked about banning ANY KIND of car.

Sure we have. You can't build a piece of crap, unsafe car, no
air bags, no seat belts.



Using your logic on guns, they should ban any car that is capable of
going over the speed limit and whole classes of cars, suvs and trucks
should be banned outright because nobody "needs" to drive a race car,
a truck or a military like vehicle. People should have to show a need
to even own a car.

I wouldn't be surprised if you actually support that tho.

You're confused again. I did not advocate banning any guns. I simply
stated many times that we need a uniform permit process across the
whole US, before anyone can buy a gun. That process would be for the
local police chief to issue the permit, after a real background check,
that includes pulling all police files on the applicant, checking with
employers, checking with schools if they are a recent grad, checking
with references, pulling mental health records if appropriate, etc.
And the permit can be denied if they have convictions, history of
non-compliance with laws, violence, are alcoholics or drug users,
have mental problems, etc. Then Cruz would not have been able to
buy his guns. It would dissuade straw purchases too, unless you
think cousin Tawanna is going to go to the local PC dept and apply
for a permit to buy 6 pistols for her cousin.
