Citizens don’t need high-powered weapons

1 min read

There is no equivalent comparison between a car and a gun.

A car exists to help convey a person from one place to another. A gun exists to kill.

A car must be registered and insured and the user must be licensed.

Maybe all guns should be registered and insured and the user licensed.

Yes, cars can kill, but when the driver gets in, that is not usually the purpose.

When a person aims a gun, the purpose is usually to kill.

If the purpose is to shoot for food, great.

If the purpose is to shoot another person, it would be great if the gun was not a high power, large capacity, rapid fire weapon for which there is no legitimate reason for an ordinary citizen to own.
