Comparing fast cars to gun control efforts

Comparing fast cars to gun control efforts

Regarding “Guns are tools of war, not recreation” (June 20): The letter from Linda Carberry is a good example of one of the problems we have in this country lately.

She says “A person does not need an AK-47 to shoot targets for fun.

“Get a Nerf!”

Well Ms. Carberry, you do not need a car to get around.

Where do get the idea that you can dictate what someone else needs?

The car industry makes cars that can exceed 200 mph.

But I don’t try to tell someone they can’t have one because I don’t think they need it.

If you feel it is your job to save us all from ourselves, please get to work on the car industry.

If they would limit the maximum speed cars can reach to 15 mph, they could save thousands of lives every year.

They don’t “need” to go any faster.
