I know this point has been made during the last 36 pages, but it goes worth saying again.
The car vs. gun debate is idiotic. One of those things is heavily regulated, has billions of dollars spent on it every year to improve functionality and safety, and has fairly strict laws associated with it. One of those things is also literally not designed to kill.

Yes it is. Suicides by gun count as being killed by a gun. That is an accurate number.
Ordinary citizens have no need for assault style weapons, and if we decided we didn't need them we'd save 400 lives a year. You don't want to save 400 lives a year with an easy and sensible first step?
Or do you think that "BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS" is the entirety of the argument? Because it's not. It's one element of many.
First of all, cars weren't invented with the purpose of killing people. Second, in the early 70's over 50,000 people were dying from car crashes a year (with a much smaller total population). What did we do? We did research, we made them safer, we made people more educated, we raised the barrier of entry to be able to operate one, and we've reduced the number of auto fatalities almost in half. So we actually did something. Your approach to guns is to...what? Do nothing because nothing can be done? Argue strawman points in opposition against any efforts for sensible legislation? Bulls#!t man.
Uh. Yeah. Which is exactly what we've done with several different approaches and contributing factors and saved tons of lives. Did you know that you have to take a test of competency and be certified to drive a car? It's a wild concept.
Do you think there is value in lessening the number of gun deaths in the US? Because the answer seems like a resounding no. Seems like you're only interested in telling libs that they're wrong.

you seem to be arguing for all guns to be banned since assault style weapons are only a small % of the problem?
I was just pointing out if guns are the problem
why in the world are those on the left going after the type of guns that shot just 1 yes one percent of the victims

I can honestly say I have no clue what you are trying to say here.....other than when someone says....”I could care less”.... that wound mean you actually do care.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a jungle in my backyard that I know better than the invading force.
I’m not sure there are many jungles in Syria but that hasn’t seemed to stop a tiny poorly equipped force from creating quite a problem for a much larger and better equipped one

Yes, I am serious. Once again, ill ask the question. How many MASS SHOOTINGS have been carried out with handguns in the US starting with Columbine?
When I have kids Id like them to be able to go to school to learn (even about history) and not have to worry about them getting killed. And id like to go on a date with my wife and not have to worry about the place getting shot up by a nut with an AR-15. Im not even calling for a total ban on them. Just stricter regulations for purchasing them. And if youre a law abiding citizen trying to purchase an AR-15 or other long rifle, you should have no problem getting through the process. Just may take longer than it does now.

When you go to movies
that’s what you think about?
ok there are 330,000,000 people in the us
how many got shot in movie theatres last 2 years 50?
so you have a one in what 14 million chance of being shot there this year and that’s keeping you up nights?
You should worry more about the drive there and back than the movie itself
that’s the danderous part
Really ?
You need to to go to Marcus theatres the ones with the loungers and c$%ktails
The problem is who is in charge of determining who gets a gun and who doesn’t
there’s no way any governmental office like that or the irs could ever be politicized or corrupted ?
Happened under Nixon and obama for starters
that never happens here or could never happen again right ?
Most on the left are looking for a ban on assault style weapons not additional vetting
