Aside from the fact that cars provide a far more needed function to society than guns and that, alone among industrialized nations the carnage from gun play in the US is unconscionable I tend to agree with you. Drivers must pass a test, have their eye-sight checked, carry insurance for misdeeds, be subject to revocation of that license for infractions even if they don't kill someone. We register cars. The gun nuts fight gun registration like it is some unheard of expansion of government power.
The point of this thread is that trained or not, law-abiding or not, careful or not, has little to do with it. Shit happens. Shit happens because people are careless and easily distracted. And when shit happens with a gun in your hand bad things can, and frequently do, happen.
