The Illinois State Supreme Court found a strict assault weapons ban passed after the Highland Park shooting to be constitutional in a ruling issued Friday.
Ive lost more people to car accidents sadly.
This is not a good argument.
Neither is acting like the USA is the wild West and that guns just magically cause people to kill each other
Comparing firearms to cars is a bad argument because cars are designed for transportation and guns are designed to kill. America tests and licenses drivers because driving is a privilege. Bearing arms is a right. Comparing guns to cars weakens your argument and makes all firearms owners (myself included) look bad because they are very different things.
I get where you’re coming from. Traffic accidents and gun violence both cause death but comparing them does not help our cause.
