RE: How The Millennial Generation Went from Eating Tide Pods to Being the Poster Children for Gun Control
Thank you for making my point. Would you agree, as a society, it's insane to blame the car for the harm it can do?
I believe it would be totally insane to ban all cars if one person used a car to kill hundreds of people. I would hope everyone can agree on that and see the insanity of the suggestion. A rational response would be to take action against the person responsible, not the machine that made it possible.
Correct. I would agree that banning all cars is counter productive.
However, I think adding additional friction to car ownership is a rational response to the dangers inherit in cars.
If there is something inherently dangerous about the car, such as a product defect...then I would agree. However, if we limit production of a vehicle or any product because of the actions of individuals...I don't believe it would produce the desired result. People who act criminally or self-destructive will continue to do so with our without limiting their access.
