Why no legislative action against auto makers for making these vehicles with 400 horsepower? Do people really need a car that can go 150mph?
These overpowered killing machines are taking innocent lives. Let’s push to ban any car capable of traveling at speeds above 75mph.
How many of those killed in cars are killed in deliberate attempts at murder, compared to those killed with guns?
SEMANTICS
Are you concerned with the safety of children or not?

It's not really semantics at all.
Yes, I'm concerned about how safe a place is and I think that safety should be dealt with better in the US.
The US has a road fatality rate of 10.6 per 100,000
The UK has a road fatality rate of 2.9 per 100,000
Sweden 2.8
Switzerland 3.3
Holland 3.4
Denmark 3.5
This is where the US should be aiming. But once again the politicians aren't doing their jobs properly.
So the UK has a murder rate 4 times lower, a traffic accident rate nearly 4 times lower too.... it manages to deal with BOTH of these issues while the US can't deal with either.
No semantics.
