    Could be extended to all guns, I suppose.

    Um, maybe you should talk to your dad about not driving anymore?

    If need be. Let's try it with the most unnecessary guns, see if our gun-related death rate drops enough from 5-7 times what our peer countries experience, and then go from there.

    My point is that he CAN drive, although he seldom does. "Regulations" are not limiting him, however.

    Those are fine and dandy. But manufacturers make cars safer because of 1) threats of lawsuits, 2) to effectively sell them in a competitive market, and 3) a few regulations.

    The primary purpose of a gun is to kill. The primary purpose of a vehicle is transportation. Just a bit of a difference there.

    Yeah, but the fatality rate in people being thrown off horses would go up.

    Handguns are made for killin’
    Ain’t no good for nothin’ else
    And if you like to drink your whiskey
    You might even shoot yourself
    So why don’t we dump ‘em, people
    To the bottom of the sea?
    Before some old fool come around here
    Wanna shoot either you or me

    Pretty sure they were progressive, especially for the time. Why would you assume these particular artists weren't?
