      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.
