Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Right, so since we're on topic how many gun related deaths happen in US and how many in France?
Banning cars could markedly reduce the incidence of death by vehicle. But beware, someone might still be able to buy a multi-tonne missile (car) on the black market tho.
Personal liberty and responsibility has its blood price. Same for the lack thereof.
If cars were specifically designed to kill people, as guns are, how long do you think it would take for them to get banned?
That said, cars are one of the most highly regulated consumer goods in US. One needs a license to operate a car, the car itself must have a valid vin & be registered, inspected yearly, and, in most places, insured. The car must comply with all sorts of DOT regulations (safety equipment, emissions, etc.), and draconian traffic laws (speed limits, can't drive drugged/drunk, can't run stop signs, etc.).
I love both cars and guns to bits, and don't mind ridiculous analogies, but let's be real here.

@yefi, The UK may have committed 'an act of economic self-harm with global ramifications'
No need to run away from home just to hurt your father
1. Guns are far more often used to kill food.
2. Non of those vehicle regulations apply to farm-use vehicles. They only come into play if you want to take you vehicle onto public roads.
1. What do you hunt with a handgun? Or an AR, which is what's being discussed here? No one is trying to regulate shotguns or hunting rifles.
2. Farm-use vehicles are used to make food. Think shotgun, which I could buy in many states by walking into a store and showing my ID.
I can also buy an AR by simply walking into a store and showing my ID.
@yefi, well yeah, self-harm is like that, you can't bring back suicides. I guess that's a win in your book?
