If I can't own a AK-47, you shouldn't own a Ferrari.?

The logic behind this is,

The average Joe has no need for something as powerful and dangerous as an AK-47. People don't need that firepower to protect themselves or recreational use. They only get used for mass killings.

The average Joe has no need for a 500 horsepower vehicle. They have no training in driving such a beast. Posted speed limits and laws don't even allow you to drive the vehicle at it's fastest, thus overpowered. They only cause wrecks which leads to fatalities.

So if you ban my "assault weapons" you should ban your sports car.

Seems fair right? More people die in vehicle accidents caused by speed than gunshots.

    Chew, I would much rather make that decision then you or the fning government,

    By the way I have Zr1 650 Hp,Corvette.

    Its counter part the Shelby Mustang Cobra At 550 Hp.

    They never go faster then the Marathon Motor Coach goes that I pull them with,

    There toys and there fun.

    Have gone through the Speed School at Daytona Motor Speedway.

    I am much more concerned about people driving motor coaches that have

    no clue of what they are doing then fly. Then someone driving a fast car,

    If you want to champion a cause, Petition your state DMV to make those

    buying such units pass a drivers test to do the same. It would be a hell of

    a lot safer out there.

    Ive also heard that.. "if a drunk driver creates car crashed because of their misuse of the vehicle, shouldnt mine be taken away?" something like that towards gun control. But your totally right in your statement

    not as balanced as a comparison as you may think. while fast cars are dangerous...they are not as easy, concealable, and convenient as an AK is. if people want to kill people they would pick up the gun...not their ferrari. understand my point? one of the purposes behind the creation of the gun is to shoot and kill. a fast car is for racing, not killing.

    yes, both are dangerous but both have different uses and purposes.

    This is why there should be some sort of intelligence test for prospective gun owners. Missing logic.

    If you follow this logic, then I should about to own some WMDs.
