Rabbitoh: Well, we need to regulate them, like maybe by insisting that people drive on the left side of the road, and stick to speed limits, and license them. And we might try to design them to make them less lethal to their occupants and things they might hit...
...nah, I'm pulling your leg. Let's ban them too.
Actually, to be serious, I don't think it's sensible to equate guns and vehicles, even though both can be lethal. 1) Utility: our society seems to require that ordinary citizens possess cars and trucks, so it would be hard to get by without them. This is not true of guns. 2) Scope: cars offer less scope for mass murder/mayhem; you can't just tuck a ferrari into your pocket, walk into a class room, unpack it, and then start running people over.
