There’s Been a Lot of Noise . . .
. . . on both sides of the recent Supreme Court gun-control decision.
If we’re going to cut back on things that kill people, we’re going to have to ban motor vehicles
— cars, pickups, trucks, semis, anything that uses our streets and highways —
because just over 110 people die in roadway mishaps every day
compared to 100 killed by accidental or on-purpose gunshot wounds.
Cars Should be Banned Because . . .
… we’ve been told tobacco is bad for us and it’s now illegal to smoke in public buildings and most stores/saloons/restaurants/etc., the World Health Organization proclaimed recently that processed meats can cause cancer and a group of food distributors has announced already it no longer will handle them, some folks want to boycott McDonalds because they blame its food for making kids fat, and there’s a clamor to outlaw guns because they kill people, yet cars kill more people than each of the above and are acknowledged culprits in carbon-related climate warming but suggesting they be junked is met with a patronizing what-the-hell-are-you-talking-about attitude even while many households have at least two of them.
