Semi-Automatic Weapons, Cars and Dumb Arguments

One of the most annoying and asinine arguments stupid people tend to make against gun control is: Well, cars kill people, so are we going to ban cars, too?

Isn't that the dumbest thing you've ever heard?

As we all know, or should know, automobiles are a mode of transportation and when they kill people, it's usually an accident. Usually.

Semi-automatic weapons, on the other hand, are designed for one purpose: to kill as many people as possible in a short amount of time.

One more time: Cars are for transportation and do kill people everyday through accidents. Semi-automatic weapons are handheld killing machines that no civilian has a legitimate reason to own.

Phillip Van Cleave, from the Virginia Citizens Defense League attempted to inject this weak-ass argument about banning cars on CNN Monday night as Piers Morgan was, basically, telling him how stupid he was for saying guns "are fun" and calling the AR-15, the killing machine used to slaughter 20 innocent children in Newtown last Friday, the "Ferrari" of weapons.

On a side note, Van Cleave also tried to blame the media for his comments, saying that a reporter asked him a question. I guess Van Cleave forgot he freely formulated and said those words and did not have the reporter's hand up his arse controlling him like a puppet.
