(255 posts)Yet look at the rate of accidents, injuries and fatalities.
6 million average number of car accidents every year.
3 million people are injured every year in car accidents in America.
Around 2 million drivers experience permanent injuries every year from car accidents.
40,000 people lose their lives every year due to major accidents while driving.
40% of all deaths caused by car accidents involve alcohol.
30% of car accident fatalities are attributed to speeding.
Reckless driving accounts for 33% of all deaths involving major car accidents.
There's no reason anyone needs cars or motorcycles that can go over 25mph. It's insane.

(255 posts)if it also includes things you enjoy but don't need. Now I understand. Pit Bulls and swimming pools also should be outlawed. They are unnecessary and verifiably dangerous. Pit Bulls especially. Why does anyone need a dog that was bread for fighting?

(255 posts)I'm also not apposed to registering my firearms. MasterCard and our local gun shops already have records and background checks in their files of every gun purchase I've made including the safe I keep them in. Do children really need cars that will do 160 and motorcycles that will do over 200mph?
