to repair the metaphor it’ll need to be “cars invented specifically to kill people”
they’re called tanks and they’re…frowned upon
BEEP BEEP IT’S A HOBBY
i mean…not all guns are designed to kill people. some are designed to kill animals. like, ya know. for food.
I’M JUST A HUMBLE SETTLER TRYNA PUT A FOX ON THE TABLE FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS
EXCEPT THAT ARGUMENT IS BULLSHIT
CARS ARE FUCKING REGULATED TO HELL AND BACK
THEY HAVE TO HAVE SEAT BELTS
YOU HAVE TO /WEAR/ THE SEAT BELTS
YOU HAVE TO TRAIN FOR A YEAR IN HOW TO USE ONE
YOU HAVE TO PASS A TEST TO PROVE YOU KNOW HOW TO USE ONE
IF YOU FUCK UP AND USE IT IRRESPONSIBLY, THERE ARE FINES AND YOUR LICENSE CAN BE REVOKED
THIS WHOLE FUCKING ARGUMENT IS BULLSHIT
Also, there are MORE DANGEROUS vehicles and those are EVEN MORE regulated!
You can’t drive your race car on the roads! You have to trailer them to and from race tracks
Cars DID KILL A FUCK TON OF PEOPLE, and honestly still do, so you know what we did?
We created a whole fucking government agency to regulate them (see: Department of Motor Vehicles), We created laws to govern their responsible use (it hasn’t ENDED ALL misuse but it sure as fuck decreased the commonality of accidents/deaths) We have police ESPECIALLY DEDICATED to patrolling and keeping an eye on people who use cars to make sure they’re using them correctly!
So no, maybe we didn’t outright BAN cars, BUT WE TOOK A RESPONSIBLE FUCKING STEP AND CREATED REGULATIONS AND LAWS AND STUDIED CAUSES OF MOTOR VEHICLE DEATHS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Excellent discourse but that beep beep tank image is fucking killing me XD
