The Crossroads of Guns and Cars

Guns are a problem and they need to be addressed. They aren't the only or even the biggest problem though.

I know one adult who was killed with a gun. I know three children who were all killed separately by cars.

Guns and cars have a lot in common. They are both extremely unsafe by design and have powerful corporations protecting themselves from liability for their dangerous products.

Gun and car deaths are never the fault of the guns, the cars, or their manufacturers.

They both kill tens of thousands of people in the USA every year.

Laws could be made to make guns and cars safer but the manufacturers use their money to prevent it.

A simple software update and a $40 GPS could restrict cars from speeding.

Making all guns single shot bolt action rifles so mass shooters have to reload after each shot would make guns safer.

As a pediatrician and vaccinologist, I work with teams who develop new vaccines to save children's lives. It is heartbreaking that the most common cause of death for US kids is now #firearm. There will never be a vaccine for AR15s, we need laws for that. #ItsTheGuns

I am watching @msnbc and Nicolle Wallace report on this young person who has to endure gun violence and how it destroyed his life. So emotionally powerful.🥲#ItsTheGuns

Guns are designed for bringing harm to other living things especially killing them. You'd think it'd be obvious that, especially the proliferation of guns with big magazines or whatever that can spew out over 1 bullet a second, gun control saves lives. But it clearly isn't.

Illinois just banned all semiautomatic weapons. This, after a mass shooting during a 4th of July celebration killed seven people. It's only the ninth state to have banned such weapons, and given recent SCOTUS rulings limiting gun control, it's unclear whether the law will stand.
