Knives are menacing, often deadly, but they don't travel at twice the speed of sound and come at you 10 per second.A knife wouldn’t work? Don’t be so sure.
Where do you access those videos?I've made it a habit to watch dash cam videos about twice a week. When you do this you come to the realization that a shockingly large amount of people shouldn't be allowed to drive, get a drivers license or own a vehicle. They not only put themselves in danger, they endanger the lives of other drivers and pedestrians. Many of these people even use their cars as weapons by brake checking and swerving towards other drivers. Then you come to realize that each and every one of those people can easily buy and own semi-automatic firearms and it's easier to revoke their drivers license than it is take away their AR15 with a binary trigger and 50 round drum mag.

All the good ones come from Russia. They are amazing drivers.Where do you access those videos?
I already figure all drivers are "deaf, dumb, blind and malicious."All the good ones come from Russia. They are amazing drivers.
PS: It wouldn't be good for you to watch that kind of video. It will just make you lose more faith than you already have in your fellow human beings. But if you insist, I suggest low bridge video cams. They are quite amusing.
Only as re-interpreted by the Supreme Republican Court [v1.0]2A guarantees everyone who shouldn’t own a gun, can.
Only in America

I have had 8, 25 cal bullets put into my car. Obviously a small bullet but luckily I didn't lose any blood. All went through the first layer of steel. None penetrated after after that. They all came apart after the first layer.And hence are unable to penetrate things like cars, doors etc.
I once read an article by someone who I think was ex-military, was some kind of expert on firearms. He said that portrayals of guns in fiction are very inaccurate in that they penetrate and go through solid barriers much easier than depicted. He said that portrayals of people using open car doors as cover in a gunfight is basically a joke. A bullet will pass through the thin metal and synthetic materials in a car door and right into the body of the person behind it every time. Also said a typical bullet will penetrate 3-6 inches into solid concrete , depending on muzzle velocity and range.
There was that case pretty recently where that cop fired at an assailant in a department store, and one bullet ricocheted off the floor, then went through a wall into an adjacent dressing room, killing a teenage girl who was in the room with her mother. This is one reason firearms are so uniquely dangerous,

There are a ton of people compiling videos but this is the one I watch. They upload about 3 times a week and the videos are only about 10 min. long. Most of their vids are from the US, with some from Canada and Mexico thrown in every now and again. https://www.youtube.com/c/MegaDrivingSchoolWhere do you access those videos?

Really? How do think that's true?
In November 2021, LV Raiders football player Henry Ruggs III was driving his Chevy Corvette 156mph on a LV city road when he struck a Rav4, violently bursting the Toyota into flames, burning the victim driver to death.
Ruggs was also drunk, 2x over the legal limit. He also had a loaded handgun in the car.
Ruggs was charged with multiple felonies, and is currently at home on house arrest while his lawyers continuously delay trial.
Now ..
Was there any national call to ban Corvettes, or pass any prohibition of manufacturing of cars that can exceed any legal speed limits?
- No
Was there any national prohibition of alcohol?
- No
Are sports cars or alcohol protected by constitutional amendments?
- No
Can sports cars or alcohol protect you or your family from rapists, intruders, homicidal domestic abusers?
- No.
Did anyone sue GM? Why did they manufacture such a dangerous car? Did we question the need?
- No
Did anyone sue the brewery or distillery?
- No
Why?
- Ruggs is an adult who use accountable for his actions. Car doesn't drive itself, beer didn't surprise anyone by causing drunkenness.
Can Ruggs still buy a Corvette right now?
- YES
Can he still buy beer?
- YES, (but if he drinks it he'll be in violation of house arrest terms)
Can he buy another gun?
- NO! He will fail a mandatory background check due to the felonies.
Despite being the only thing protected by the Constitution, it's the only item seized in his deadly night of mayhem and murder he's prevented from owning ever again.
Everyone is a law-abiding gun owner™ until they fuck up, then they are immediately kicked out of the club and branded an outlier that is completely unrepresentative of law-abiding gun owners™. Rinse and repeat.You obviously live in a bubble. All of these examples will be dismissed as "lone nutjob, nothing you could do."
Movies are fake, not really news.
If you are forced to have to use car for cover, get behind the engine block.
I don't know what is considered a "typical bullet", but 6" into solid concrete sounds total bullshit. I've shot plenty of 45s into steel targets and you just get a paper thin pancake of lead and chipped paint on your target.
The most common handgun round, 9mm, penetrates ballistic gel only 12-18"
This guy is awesome, but not flashy.

One big difference, besides the obvious, is driving drunk and speeding were already very illegal. But carrying around a loaded gun while angry or stupid is not.Really? How do think that's true?

Second Amendment
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Just imagine if all the controls you want on Arms were applied to voting Rights? Would you find it acceptable? Me either and i don't accept the illegal controls on Arms too.
Just imagine if Republicans cared about any other Amendment with the same vigor as the 2A.What is happening in Ukraine right now? What good is those assault rifles? Its a shelling game, and you know, even in the US, I dont think you can buy mortars and rocket launchers under the 2nd.
Point being, your argument is shit.
Just imagine if Republicans cared about any other Amendment with the same vigor as the 2A.
Just imagine if people were required to enlist in a state militia to gain the right.
I've stopped using "No True Scotsman" and just use "No Responsible Gun Owner" because it's simply more relevant today.Everyone is a law-abiding gun owneruntil they fuck up, then they are immediately kicked out of the club and branded an outlier that is completely unrepresentative of law-abiding gun owners
. Rinse and repeat.
