I’m not anti-gun. It is a tool and has a legitimate function, which is to wound or kill. But it has [b]no[/b] other use. So comparisons to cars or even knives makes no sense, since cars are not designed as weapons and knives have non-lethal uses.
The facts are: we have more shootings than any other so-called "developed" country, even those where guns are légal, and most [b]sane[/b] people aren’t happy about that. Banning guns outright isn’t practical here, for a number of reasons. But they shouldn’t as easy to obtain as they are in many states.
Those who compare gun violence to car accidents might be onto something in [b]one[/b] sense: maybe all legal gun owners should have to take classes, test and earn gun licenses, similar to what is required to legally drive a car. With regular renewals.
