CARS OR GUNS: Both are deadly

| January 23, 2013 8:03 PM

In response to the tragic accidents that happen across our nation’s highways daily, I’m sure the inventor of the first automobile didn’t envision the high capacity automobile of today. It’s able to carry and kill more than seven passengers, large explosive fuel tanks that allow this killing machine to travel farther than necessary and an engine that allows it to go two or three times the legal limit.

What about the military style vehicles with cammo paint, tinted windows and big tires?

These big vehicles are intimidating and scary. The average American doesn’t need such a car.

I would suggest a ban, by executive order if necessary, on all gas tanks over 7 gallons (that should be plenty) engines that go over 70 mph, and military style paint, bumpers or tires. All you haters out there, think of the children. We need to do it for them! If this sounds ridiculous, think about the gun debate. If this sounds reasonable, think about a career in D.C.
