VEHICLES OR WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION?
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2018 1:54 pm
Comparing a total of 1947 deaths involving Licensed Fire Arms over a 5 year period (2011-2015) or an average 1.06 Deaths per day with 150,935 vehicular deaths on our roads in just one year (2016) or an average 415 deaths per day, we should enforce a far stricter licensing regimen for vehicles than what is being followed for the licensing of guns.
Any mechanism or device that takes away 415 lives every day after day would have been termed as Weapons of Mass Destruction, but it has not happened with vehicles. Guns on the other hand are perceived to be weapons of destruction/assault, while millions of guns are deployed across the globe, ensuring peace and stability, protecting life and property. Logically, and legitimately, we could reverse our perspective towards guns and vehicles.
