My car analogy was just an extreme example to show the ineffectualness of dealing with the problem from the weapon stand point. Discussions and laws should be done to make it more difficult for people with ill-intent on getting access to our children.

Booze has been the cause of almost as much death as guns but the government will not do anything that will jeopardize their martini lunches to do anything about it. Guns on the other hand is an issue the government can sink their teeth in because of their desire to control every aspect of our lives while reducing the possibility of armed citizens revolting against a tyrannical government. Many laws have been written already with the intention of simply controlling the people.
