Statistics
According to KidsAndCars.org, at least 50 children are backed over in the U.S. every week – 48 are treated in hospital emergency rooms and 2 die. In 2015, NHTSA reported 284 fatalities and 12,000 injuries occurred to backovers.*
Thousands of children are seriously injured or killed every year because a driver backing up was not able to see them behind their vehicle. Many elderly people are also backed over by vehicles.

How is the above not a health crisis more important than mass shootings?

You both know what I am saying. yes I know any thing can be a weapon. But which ones are the most efficient.
Most efficient? When someone looses it and decides to attack, possible use as a weapon is all that matters.
Do you want someone to try to stop an attacker trying to stab you to threaten the attacker with a spoon or a gun. You have only a second or two to answer before they use the knife on you.

In 2019, Germany had 3337 automobile deaths. The USA averages about 35,000 to 40,000 automobile deaths a year.
Should we heavily regulated car ownership?
Or, is there vast differences between other countries and the USA?
Never heard of a mass death car crash at work, or in a school, where the perp intended on killing people with a car.
Usually a car fatality is what we would call an accident.

Really? So Europe did not have a rash of mass casualty events using trucks perpetrated by terrorists ... ever? Please. They happen and have happened.

Finished off your sentence.

I don't think you looked. These are from 2019 and before. There are very many from 2020 and 2021.
Any of these could have been at a school when the students are arriving or leaving.
A car is a very deadly weapon when the person operating it decides to use it as such.
The tool doesn't matter, it is the person holding the handle that makes all the difference.

I have a Smith & Wesson shield in 9mm.
The "clip" is 8 rounds.
I can drop and insert a clip in a blink.
All of these proposed "common sense" regulations are any thing but common sense.

I fell asleep last night in the middle of this story before they knew the death toll.
8 dead?
Crazy
It’s the weekly mass shooting in Joe Biden’s America.
STRESS is increasing in America. You can see it in the population.
