My issue is with the repeated analogies from posters equating this issue with driving accidents.
These analogies are false. The accidents in question are caused by an licensed driver. If cars are to be used as an analogy - then the analogy would be allowing a toddler to have access to the steering wheel. The false equivalencies are a problem.
My point was that folks get all upset with a single gun incident, but ignore large deaths in other situations.
The disparity is quite relevant, as anti-gun folks pounce all over one incident and cry and flail their arms to utilize the incident.
My point was also that lack of due diligence in any situation can have disasterous results due to a number of reasons, which is also correct.
