I am still waiting on the data that shows $500,000 sports cars kill thousands of people each year.
My 2007 sportscar cost me 25.5K after negotiating a bit, not 500K.
sports cars, not just super cars. The numbers for sports cars are pretty big. I will see if I can pull some current numbers.
There is obviously a wide range of "sports cars," just as there is a wide range of firearms facing possible regulation(from 10 round 22lr revolvers to FA MGs). I never said the $500,00 dollar ones are causing all the deaths. Even the very rich very seldom drive their $500k sports cars. I hear the ride is quite poor.
I have not been able to find a statistic that breaks it out by type of car. Part of the problem here is what is a "sports car?" Very similar to what is an "assault weapon?" I know there are stats car by car. They are used extensively in insurance, but I have not found them broken up by "sports car." How about some people on here who drive corvettes disclose what their liability insurance is compared to people driving Tauruses, etc.? Maybe a look at ISO symbols would suffice, although they take into account many other factors.
I can not come up with an argument for me purchasing another "defensive" firearm. I have a good rifle, a good shotgun, a good CCW pistol, and a good sidearm pistol. The "sidearm" is more than likely extraneous as it is. So, the right to self defense no longer covers my firearm purchases. I absolutely can not make the claim that my right to self defense provides for me to purchase a 1911 Swedish Mauser, especially when I already own a superior K31 as another extraneous long range SD rifle.
By your logic, which concludes self defense is the only legitimate argument we have, does it now stand that the government can regulate a limit on firearms owned? 4? 5? 7? I don't like that at all, but, if all we have is a right to self defense, I find it hard to argue against such a measure.
'Stoop to their level.' I haven't quite started taking advantage of dead toddlers and grieving parents yet, but if I feel the need to firebomb Dresden...
