Cars have speed limits. You’re legally required to wear a seatbelt. If you’re reckless with your car or with other areas of life you can lose your license.

All of which are more analogous to guns than bus = high capacity gun. Oh and you need a special more exclusive license to drive that bus.
 
It's also a mother fucking car. Its primary purpose is not "kill shit".

Yeah, but it's pretty close.

Killing shit is not the purpose. It’s a bug.

One of the biggest things this meme misses is that people can only legally use cars in very specific places.

And they are required to carry insurance for any damage the car might do.

And that's insurance, tax, and registration on each car, not each driver.

You have to get regular medical exams for your CDL too.

Just pointing out that "bug" is deadly AF.

I was at a gathering this weekend when I overheard a discussion about Trump. Apparently God appointed him to be the new center of the Christian world. They claim that he is the new Cyrus because he is the 45th president which points to Isaiah 45. He was also inaugurated on the 70th year, 7th month, and 7th day of his life. You can't trust anything the mass media says, and Europe is building an army to oppose Trump and his world dominance.

This group was seriously discussing these things for over an hour.

Not really. A very small percentage of car uses result in injury or death. Meanwhile the vast majority of people get from point A to point B without issue.

Gun deaths surpassed vehicle deaths in 2016 and 2017: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2018/12/11/18135976/gun-deaths-us-2017-suicide

Further look a moralities from motor vehicles from 50 years ago (per capita etc.), prior to the seat belt, airbag and DUI mandates intended to control deaths compared to now. Regulation reduced the danger substantially. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor..._VMT,_per_capita,_and_total_annual_deaths.png

Cars increase the productivity of humans and are worth the risk. Guns do not and are not.

Phew. Don’t want this to get buried too quickly.

Where do people even get this? Are their preachers filling their heads with this level of specificity?

Also, if you remove a 1 from all those 7s you get 666!! The number of the beast!!

Do you feel more likely to be gunned down at the mall or involved in a violent accident on I-4 ? Do you routinely argue with drunk relatives at your trailer ? Sell meth ? Are you a woman with an abusive husband ?

Everyone puts themselves in harm's way with cars. 99.9% of the guns you see are in a police officer's holster or at a sporting goods store.

ETA that I realize that yo're at greater risk of police violence than the general population.

Around 88% of Americans own a car. Only around a quarter to a third own a gun.

So, you're minding your own business, going about your day. Are you more likely to be killed in a traffic accident or in a shooting ?
