    Cars are unsafe at any speed. They should be banned from public roads.

      Why? Cars are incredibly dangerous devices, even though modern cars are designed to 'feel" safe. Hell you even need a licence to use one. Many people that drive have no idea how much damage they are capable of behind the wheel and are totally complacent.

      If they didn’t have such incredible utility, they would be far more restricted.

        And a gun is a weapon designed explicitly to kill things.

        They are not the same and you’re a piece of utter shit if you try and take a four year olds death and hurr hurr gun laws baaad on It.

    Can we do a car buy back to remove these horrors from our communities?
