In reply to the discussion: If guns were as regulated as cars [View all]A Simple Game
(9,214 posts)13. Very poor analogy.
        Cars are not allowed in all public areas.  No assault cars?  Check with the military or drag strip where some cars even need special licenses to be driven, maybe even the off road motorcycle or truck club. No fuel tank limits?  It's not the size of the tank but what you are allowed to put in it, weren't buying gas during WWII or even as late as 1773 were you.
Want to talk about what kind of tires you can use, or bullet velocities, etc.?

        Your response is so full of holes it's only just barely worthy of a response.
