it's bad enough you have to worry about mustangs running you over at car meets...now you have to be afraid they might shoot you now?

Most of them will be like this complete moron and have no idea how to use a gun ... a prime example of why America needs better gun laws rather than just giving them away free in the breakfast cereal boxes.

I'm firmly against "better gun laws" whatever that means. There's already plenty of laws being ignored already.

However, illegal use of firearms must be more firmly prosecuted. This guy, and every other firearm crime, broke already existing laws. The government loves to let people off easy on this crap because they know the problem will get worse, causing people to beg for "better gun laws" which gives the government wide ranging ideas to restrict rights whilst really never making us any safer.

That video is so cringe, look real close, it does look like the other driver was doing something that looked like waving a firearm out his window. Seemed like a rolling gun fight to me.

All I know is, every time I hear about a suspect being apprehended, it comes out that they have a well established record of previous gun charges, why are they on the streets, and why do people think more laws will stop those idiots?

Wow, KIA!

Wow, KIA!

Yeah... I'll never understand the appeal regardless of what I read for consumer satisfaction/reliability of Kia, Hyundai or Genesis. Too many horror stories over decades from people that I actually know to believe anything else.

Yep dont give up your guns like we did in Australia. Well the criminals didnt give theirs up, just the law abiding citizens

Gun Deaths (per 100,000 people)
Australia = 0.88 (in 2019)
USA = 12.21 (in 2017)

over 12 times as many in America.

Far fewer deaths is what having better gun laws gets you - it's simple common sense: fewer idiots with guns = fewer deaths.

Approximately 50% of gun deaths in the USA are by suicide, so I don't think it's relevant in the discussion of gun violence/homicides.

The U.S. traffic fatality rate is 12.4 deaths per 100,000 people - more than twice the rate of gun homicides. Should we ban automobiles?
