Father intentionally crashes into restaurant, killing daughter: Police

"
A father allegedly sat his family near the front door of a restaurant in North Carolina on Sunday, then promptly left, got in his car and plowed full speed into them on purpose, according to police and eyewitnesses. Two people were killed in the crash, police said.

Roger Self, 62, has been charged with two counts of murder over the alleged incident in which his daughter, Katelyn, and another person sitting at the table were killed, the Gaston County Sheriff's Office said.

Katelyn Self was a deputy with the Gaston County Sheriff's Office. She was off-duty at the time of the crash."

Why isn't anyone blaming the car?

If we only had common sense speed control, limiting cars to no more than 20 mph, this stuff ends, right?

We have common sense laws for automobiles. There are speed limits, licensing requirements, competency tests, insurance requirements and age restrictions.

Maybe that's why scenarios such as the one you outlined here are relatively rare.

Perhaps we should use these same common sense regulations on guns in order to make mass shootings rarer.

Wait, two auto assaults in one day:

Man shot by police in South Omaha rammed 2 cruisers in attempt to flee, officials say

This is just out of hand!

Must I point out, once again, Criminals don't care what additional laws you place on them. Note the OP.
 
Autonomous vehicles are on the way. There will come a day when it will no longer be cost effective to own and operate. Manufacturers are already transitioning.
 
At least we require training, passing of tests, registration and licensing of the cars.

Dude passed them all, and still killed using the car.

What exactly is your point?

My point is that if we required the same on guns, there would be fewer situations such as the one we had on Friday.

Trying to remember the last time we had an automotive mow-down at a school.
 
It’s obvious we need a sprawling, bumbling federal bureaucracy to dig moats around every restaurant, dive, and diner in America in order to stop this outbreak of mass killings before it breaks out and a lot of hungry folks get killed for lunch.

Wait, it obviously doesn't work with cars. The death rate by trained, licensed and regulated cars are higher than those that own a gun.

Oh well. Maybe another moment of silence? Flag at half mast? Thoughts and prayers?

My thoughts and Prayers do go out to the victims. Sure, I would support flags at half staff as well.

And wow, those common sense laws prevented this from happening!

Good thing we had common sense car laws, or he might have really hurt someone.

Yo, lefty.... the point is, yeah we do have those laws, and it didn't stop anything.

The solution isn't more laws. The solution is enforcement of the laws we have. If people are not afraid of getting put to death for murder... breaking a few car laws... or breaking a few gun laws... isn't going to stop them.

Just like this guy wasn't thinking "oh I better not run my family over, because that would violate a automobile law"..... similarly no one willing to shoot people is going to think "oh I better not go on a killing spree because that would violate a gun law".
