Driver plows into crowd in Brownsville, TX.
« on: May 08, 2023, 03:33:23 AM »
     Looks like 8 killed and 11 wounded..  https://ktla.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/7-killed-by-driver-near-texas-migrant-shelter-police-say-it-may-have-been-intentional/

  Next question: 
 1) Should laws be enforced that deny vehicle usage to those who misuse them and disobey traffic laws?
   
   OR:

  2) Should there be laws passed that remove all vehicles from private ownership and usage?
   
   OR:

  3) Should the anti privately owned vehicle laws, be enforced slowly..removing first, those with AUTOMATIC transmissions?
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)

I truely hope you're being the devils advocate with this;

  Next question:

"Next question"?  I didn't see a question in the news release you linked.


 1) Should laws be enforced that deny vehicle usage to those who misuse them and disobey traffic laws?

Ummmm, that's already on the books, and people STILL drive on suspeneded licenses, or with DUI's hangin' over thier heads.  Push something like that, and there'll be NOBODY driving anywhere, as I would wager that EVERYBODY violates the posted speed limits at some point.
   
   OR:

  2) Should there be laws passed that remove all vehicles from private ownership and usage?

REALLY!?  Are you that blinded by your own opinions and prejudices?  Where would that thought process stop?  When the 2nd Amendment is also gone?  Maybe after the entire bill of rights is buried? (I'm not suggesting that driving is a right.)
   
 
OR:

  3) Should the anti privately owned vehicle laws, be enforced slowly..removing first, those with AUTOMATIC transmissions?

Well, that would surely remove a lot of drivers from the ranks, FOR A RATHER SHORT TIME.

Be damned careful what you wish for......you just might get it.

I'm thinking the OP is
just sarcasm
The root of all this recent
madness is nutjob idiots
that need to be locked away
or planted, but people don't
want to talk about that anymore.
Kinda like prison reform and
rehabilitation. How's that
working out  ?

   Sorry GT, but I guess you misread the intended irony in the post, as I attempted to parallel the anti 2nd amendment efforts of
   blaming the inanimate object.

  I guess I could have have explained it a bit more comprehensively, but that would have destroyed my attempt at irony, or sarcasm.
