CARS KILL

With the ascendency of terrorists using motor vehicles to run over pedestrians, it is probably only a matter of time before someone adopts the perverted logic of the kooky anti-gun, anti-second amendment, far left freaks and applies that logic to automobiles. The application of the anti-gun logic to automobiles provides some interesting possibilities. Possible details of the analogy follow:
The anti-auto protesters could take to the streets in wild demonstrations to make their views known.
They could insist that to prevent the new mayhem, we will need much more thorough background checks of anyone seeking to buy a car or obtain or renew a driver’s license. People with mental problems, including the above mentioned lefties, must not be allowed to possess an automobile. There can be no loopholes in the background check regulations for purchases at auto shows or from private individuals.
If the Federal Government fails to act promptly and decisively, a state might decide to take the matter into its own hands. A likely state would be California, a trendsetter for the nation with the most stringent automobile regulations and the most car-loving population. California could pass legislation to confiscate all automobiles. Of course, while their population is relegated to bicycles, the Hollywood celebrities, politicians and wealthy Californians would have their own private limousines to take them where they wanted to go.
The citizens who have always thought it their right to drive an automobile could begin to push for a constitutional amendment to codify that right. That amendment might read: “A mobile Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and operate motor vehicles shall not be infringed.”
The anti-auto protesters might direct their wrath at the auto manufacturers and dealers with protests at their facilities and boycotts of them and their products claiming they are responsible for the terrorist carnage. One can imagine a “National Automobile Association” attempting to reverse the sales decline from the protests by adopting a slogan such as “The only thing that can stop a bad guy with an automobile is a good guy with an automobile”
The identification of additional analogies is left as an exercise for the reader.
