Which is more lethal in the wrong hands?

Shouldn't people be required to pass a background check before getting a drivers license?

How about size restrictions or horsepower restrictions?

Maybe a limit on how many vehicles you can keep at home?

I know... only professional drivers and law enforcement should have vehicles.

Come on people... we need to stem the tide of vehicular violence before it gets out of hand like.. well, like hand gun violence.

Deaths in from cars per year:  ~44,000
Deaths from guns per year:  ~30,000 (over half being suicide)

Outlaw cars!!!

Now that's the spirit corbanzo.  Now don't even get me started on swimming pools and doctors.  Did you know that doctors account for more serious injuries and deaths than firearms?

Last # I saw was Drs. & Hospitals caused 107,000 deaths per year. Sobering thought that number represents.
