    They would if America’s requirements for holding a driver’s license were just turning up and a DMV and saying “I pinkie promise I know how to drive and will not drive off a cliff in a murder suicide”.

    If you don’t want people who commit murder with legal guns called “legal gun owners”, stop selling them legal guns.

        The part where they make sure you can actually drive and revoke your license if you’re a danger to others on the road.

        But why try and torture your analogy further? People aren’t driving off cliffs and if they were, we could stop it with stronger barriers and no lobby groups or death cults would fight to stop it.

          This almost reads like a constructive comment instead of the braindead circlejerk that started this chain.

            I can’t personally explain gun control to every person in every thread each time a legal gun owner kills someone.

            But that doesn’t mean they should get a pass. These are failures of the system resulting in someone’s death.
