More people are killed in car accidents than gun violence, so lets ban cars and go back to horses. Look at Chicago, has one of the strictest gun control laws in the U.S. and it doesn't seem to work.
It is not guns that are the problem, it is the person who pulls the trigger. A gun cannot magically fire on its own.
Other countries lowered their gun related deaths, no reason we shouldn't be able to either.

The difference is that cars are not designed to kill, and when operated properly, they do not kill.

Stringent gun restrictions in one jurisdiction are undermined by lax gun restrictions in neighboring jurisdictions. If one cannot obtain a gun in Chicago, he can easily obtain one in East Chicago, and bring it back into the city.

That is what many gun safety measures do: restrict who can own a gun.
Guns arent the problem, and gun laws dont do shit. The police are unanimous at thinking harsher gun laws will increase gun crime.
The problem in chicago is black people keep shooting each other. Once you realise that, then you can understand the problem. Not some hurr durr, police are racist therefore only they should have guns.
Hillary will make this worse.

Don't be silly now. I agree that cars are a serious problem, but outright banning them is impossible. No, what we need to do is make people take lessons on how to operate cars safely and responsibly and then make it mandatory to perform some sort of exam to prove that it's safe for you to drive. Upon passing you'd recieve, hmmm, I guess some kind of license. If you don't own a license, obviously a car is too dangerous for you to be allowed to drive.
Then if you want to drive larger and more dangerous guns you should need to gain additional training and earn more qualifications to do so, baring in mind the heightened danger of these vehicles.
This seems like a pipe dream though, I guess the current system will have to do. At least cars aren't specially built to murder people and its incredibly easy for anyone to get one or something.
For real though, trying to use cars as a point against gun control is legitimately retarded and you and everyone else should feel bad about yourselves.

Yes, as proven by no country with gun control ever.
