Discussion: Fox Panel: We Don't Regulate Cars! Why Should We Regulate Guns? (VIDEO)

Behold!!! The Donald Trump memorial prayer altar is obscured from view.

I’ve been trying to figure a work around so it won’t be profitable to the black market… We have the story of the enterprising 13 yr old yesterday on TPM who made a gun and then proceeded to shoot himself in the ribs so I guess there’s no real workable way (except for hoping for sanity to prevail someday) to prevent the carnage.

The importance of children successfully reaching adulthood is vastly overrated. What are kids for, anyway? Some say the perpetuation of the species, but that is an unseemly grasping at straws in my opinion.

Much appreciated!
Don’t know why my laptop is being so recalcitrant with images lately. Uploading images used to be a breeze.

My son is 38 and he’s got a son so I’m off the hook.
But lets us regulate some damned GOP limos!!

And I always thought it would be good to show how well regulations on cars, car insurance, safety features, licenses that have to be renewed, etc. and that have driven dramatic drops in death by automobile, would be a great comparison as to why we need similar regulations on guns. But to say we don’t regulate cars, yea what a fucking idiot.

Outdumberd - is the point of this show to second guess and sow doubt in women’s suffrage?

Google: Ball Four Doug Rader Birthday Cake

An excerpt from a Chicago Trib article recapping a bio on Rader as a ‘flake’:

Another Houston teammate, Jesus Alou, was noted for having a very weak stomach. Rader used to love to aggravate poor Alous condition. Doug would wait until Alou was looking his way, then shove gum up his nose. Or better yet, when a birthday cake was delivered to the Astros clubhouse, Rader would- uh, how shall we put this-decorate it in an unprintable fashion. Everyone else on the team thought this stuff was funny. Alou didn`t.

“Are we going to take away everything that people use to kill each other?” Faulkner asked. “Because we’re really going to have to start with the basics, like vehicles.”

“Swimming pools!” co-host Andrea Tantaros interjected.

If someone comes running at me with a swimming pool, I feel pretty good about my chances of escaping.

I say we start regulating bleach-blonde hair dye. Talk about some severe cackling from The Five!

(Full Disclosure: My mother is the one who says those ladies do nothing but sit there and cackle on about nothing. I just … repeat what I hear from Mom. Yes, I am a proud Mama’s Boy.).

I see we are backing to reporting on the show where sane people are “Outnumbered”.

Simple emission controls on guns might go a long way…

Uhh, except one of the largest federal agencies, the NHTSA regulates only cars and has compelled auto makers to install seat belts, air bags, steering column improvements, and hundreds of other safety improvements in autos. Due mostly to this regulation, highway deaths have plummeted from 54,000 in 1970 to 33,000 today though Americans drive three times as many vehicle miles now as in 1970.

Outnumbered, where the mindnumbing stupid go to stupify.

Fine lets un-regulate guns the same way we un-regulate cars. License to operate them, registration of all changes of ownership, mandatory liability insurance and an annual ad-valorem tax.

Yeah…and here is the real clincher for you.

Remember when JEB’s response to the Oregon shooting was that doing something would be wrong, like doing something because a child drowned in swimming pool?

That’s exactly what he did in Florida…only nobody actually drowned. A child just fell in and it made big news in the state. So he pushed through a bill and signed it into law requiring fences around personal pools.

Yeah…that JEB. The one who is sort of running for the nomination of the republican party.

Actually I see here where the invisible hand of the market will help… If you are forced to have liability insurance, then the premiums will be set by the markets, insurers will try to price out high risk individuals.
