I think you'll find that a car was the weapon; where are the calls for car control? {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Oct 03, 15:44

Already have it. Driving is a privilege, not a right and licensed in all states. Big difference. {nm} BSmurf Oct 03, 16:00

Your last sentence buys into the fiction that the anti-gun agenda has set up. edzep - Port Monkey! Oct 04, 13:38

More like, his experience of living in the UK has shown him that strict gun laws leads to fewer gun deaths and fewer crimes involving guns. {nm} RogerMore Oct 04, 14:10
