For all the “well cars kill more people than guns, why don’t we take away cars?” people: cars are insanely regulated. You need to take multi-part tests to get a driver’s license, which needs to be renewed. They have to be registered, insured, and inspected yearly by law. The police can take away your driver’s license if you misuse your car. Manufacturers have to adhere to a litany of regulations and pass a hundred tests for safety and quality before being allowed to sell them. Your car can be repossessed for any number of infractions. I would be thrilled if we treated guns like cars.
