I agree with you JG. Lose the car and similar analogies though. It doesn't help the argument in your favor, sorry, it just doesn't. There are too many ways to argue over that sort of thing and doing so doesn't really do anything towards find solutions. People end up arguing over that instead of focusing on the real issue.

I hope the government will promote more meaningful research into the problem and come up with some ideas that can help without chipping away at our rights any more than has already been done. I do think better screening of gun purchasers could help but I'm not even sure about that.
