Good frigging gawd!
We do regulate cars. Every year I have to get my pick up emissions tested. And there are federal regulations about miles per gallon that cars get. Cars must have air bags and seat belts FOR SAFETY!! But this dimbulb numbskull thinks guns should not be regulated because cars aren’t regulated???

Yee Gawds …I haven’t thought about that evil troll in months.

What would really make a difference would be living in a state that sold cars that weren’t subject to product liability claims, that weren’t covered by consumer product safety laws, and didn’t allow any government agencies to collect more than cursory data about auto-related deaths.

Really? I assumed all states did that. But the point of inspections isn’t just accidents. The biggest issue is for emissions, to make sure polluters aren’t poisoning our air. Here in Texas, I once got a good rebate because my car failed the emission tests and they had a program to help people buy newer cars if your car failed. But sadly, it was too successful so they canceled it; because Republicans hate successful government programs.

But again, the point isn’t that inspections save lives. It’s that cars are heavily regulated, to the point that if your horn doesn’t work or your tail lights are out, you’re not even allowed to drive your car until you get it fixed. Guns are nowhere near that level of regulation.

The VERY FIRST THING that came to mind were two words:

Seat belts.

The next two words were:

Air bags.

Oh, yes, the stupid is burning red hot there… :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I’m surprised the Fox tv set crew didn’t erupt in raucous laughter at that pearl of wisdom.

“Great point, Willie. Let’s regulate guns in the same lax way as cars, and have a gun database available to law enforcement nationwide listing the address and owner of every single firearm, and those owners must carry paperwork for every firearm on their person and provide proof of insurance for any accident involving that firearm to any officer who requests it. Cool?”

Because it doesn’t jibe with the ‘deregulation = good, regulation = bad’ simpleton level of thought Fox as a whole have been pushing (actually the larger Fright-Wing™ ecosystem) for decades.

I do have to admit when Tantaros turns on her headlights it gets my attention.

Cars aren’t regulated? Shit, that’s gonna save me a couple hundred bucks since my registration is due for renewal. Awesome news!

“more people have cars than have guns.”

…more people have more guns than brains OR cars. There’s no limit to the number of weapons stupidly malicious idiots have…

Please----------some divine intervention…Oh never mind… Never happen.

I think it’s a little of both. O’Reilly and Kelly don’t believe everything they say, but Tantaros is a special kind of stupid.

My swimming pool is highly regulated. I have to maintain extra insurance and everything from the height of my fence to the actual hinges on the self latching gates are mandated. The stupid really burns with that crew.

I agree; every gun owner should be required to buy insurance just as we do
for cars; that would pay for all the injuries and mayhem they cause;
