Not Another Assault Car Killing!

You speculated because it has never happen, it never could. So you additionally speculate that a gun is a requirement to a mass killing. You have been proven wrong. This women in my link, wanting to commit mass murder but lacking a gun, found another way. It is instinctive in Killers, they kill, they simply don't care what tools are availed them. They find a way.

Just like the one posted in my link.

Do you have a link showing that it would not be possible?

Yes, well someone could drop a bomb from a hot air balloon during a fire drill and kill dozens of kids.

Just because it has never happened, doesn't mean that it couldn't!

Do you always employ tortured logic?

There was no logic used whatsoever.

You're logic was, minus a gun, a mass killing could not happen.

I posted a link, from a country that banned guns, showing just how a practical killer reacts to such bans. They drive down crowds of people.

If there is tortured logic at play, it appears to be yours.
Is there any correlation between the number of guns in America and the number of shootings in Americ
Father intentionally crashes into restaurant, killing daughter: Police

"
A father allegedly sat his family near the front door of a restaurant in North Carolina on Sunday, then promptly left, got in his car and plowed full speed into them on purpose, according to police and eyewitnesses. Two people were killed in the crash, police said.

Roger Self, 62, has been charged with two counts of murder over the alleged incident in which his daughter, Katelyn, and another person sitting at the table were killed, the Gaston County Sheriff's Office said.

Katelyn Self was a deputy with the Gaston County Sheriff's Office. She was off-duty at the time of the crash."

Why isn't anyone blaming the car?

If we only had common sense speed control, limiting cars to no more than 20 mph, this stuff ends, right?
We have common sense laws for automobiles. There are speed limits, licensing requirements, competency tests, insurance requirements and age restrictions.

Maybe that's why scenarios such as the one you outlined here are relatively rare.

Perhaps we should use these same common sense regulations on guns in order to make mass shootings rarer.

Mind if I ask, which one of those common sense laws for automobiles you mentioned above would prevent this killing?
Law is not panacea. Name one law that prevents crime. Laws do, however, reduce crime. Can you dispute that speed limits reduce highway fatalities? Can you deny that seat belt laws reduce automobile deaths?

No law PREVENTS crime from happening. Laws DO reduce unnecessary hazards.

So what unnecessary hazard? You are relying on and ideal. That being that a gun is a required to Murder. Completely untrue as I posted earlier.

Why would you argue against legal, law abiding citizens, and on behalf of those who would use an unarmed society as targets?
an unnecessary hazard is Sandy Hook where a deranged person got his mother's AR-15 and killed her, then 26 kids and himself. An unnecessary hazard is Santa Fe Texas where another deranged person got his father's arsenal and killed ten more. An unnecessary hazard is Aurora, Colorado where a deranged person managed to shoulder an assault rifle and shoot up a crowded, dark movie theater.

How did these weapons get into these hands? Was that necessary? Was it necessary to have such weaponry at home unsecured?

Is their a correlation? Sure. But there is also a correlation to the use of SSRI antidepressants in teens. Without the latter, the guns are irrelevant.

Per my previous link, you rely on the idea that a gun is a requirement to murder in large numbers. This women lacked the ability to kill by gun, she simply used a tool, just as capable to kill.

It's what killers do, just like in the OP, they use the available tools. They Kill, they don't really care how.

You conflate a privilege with a right.
 
Pop23 keep it to cars. Leave out mountains and other fallacies, please.

Great. Name gun laws that is respected by criminals? How about you name gun law that's respected by non criminals? The way I see it, only way to reduce gun crimes without infringing on constitutional rights is to increase punishment for the gun crimes. Make it mandatory 20 years for any gun crime, and 30 to life for any murder with a gun.
I like that. And, constitutionally, types of guns can be restricted, and gun regulations, such as background checks, etc., are permitted.
 
Gun laws decrease not eliminate gun murders: flat fact. And significantly so.

And if we got rid of mountains, we would have fewer die in avalanche?
Another fallacy of false equivalency. Thank you, Pop23. Hint: how many people get thrown off mountains? Think hard.

Oh, this is going to hurt Jake:

Thank you: one. Go get those mountains, boy. :) How many were killed by guns in America: thirty thousand?

Whereas, gun laws do cut gun murders tremendously.

Cars kill way more people than guns.

For those of you who are so concerned about lives lost.

No. I'm relating responsibility. And rights are not absolute. If they were, more mass shootings would happen with Thompson sub-machine guns.

What gives you that idea. Murder rates in England are rising. Rape in Australia at record highs.

But for some reason you think being murdered by method "A" is so much better than method "B"?

Whys that Jakey?

Let us know when driving a car becomes right, liar.

Then advocate against irresponsible driving, since that's only a privilege.

We could get rid of stop signs and stop lights. LOL

Or stop allowing cars that travel over 20 mph on the highways. We don't want to ban cars, just make them less likely for criminal use.

Then bicycles would take over the road since they are faster than that.

Indeed, and since the car is also attributed to thousands of deaths each year by global warming, we got ourselves a win/win!

You continue to flounder in your illogical rant, Poppy. You know well UK's murder rate, Australia's murder rate, NZ's murder rate are much lower because of restrictive laws.

You seem to think that no laws will not effect the rates. That is stupid thinking. The numbers show that is stupid thinking.

Poppy, that is crazy talk. You make a statement, then glare from behind it. The fact is the UK murder rate is far less than ours, whether blipping up or down. You can't get around it, the logic, Poppy.

They won't blame a car just guns.

Wonder how long it will take before they have car control??

The statement (actually a question) I made was, "But for some reason you think being murdered by method "A" is so much better than method "B"? Whys that Jakey?"

You failed to answer it.

And the rape statistics I quoted earlier are not a blip Jake. Those are real women being sexually assaulted at a much greater rate than before the bans. Do you think they would prefer they were, or were not raped?
