New York Times, November 23, 1924: “The automobile looms up as a far more destructive piece of mechanism than the machine gun. The reckless motorist deals more death than the artilleryman. … Immediate action [is necessary] to halt the homicidal orgy of the automobile.”

I see you've driven in Dallas
At least folk usually own one car.
And when was the last 2A well organised Militia needed?
The message still holds true today.
All over.
I see drivers when I’m walking.
Heads in their laps.
While underway at high speed.
Good luck to all.
Remember this.
You never want to be responsible for another’s death.
Big lie bout walking away from it.
Unscathed.
Haunted.
Be careful.
WMDs, the case for Iraq war, the whole Israhell war crime genocide…the ZYT is only good to wrap fish.
However, what measures have been taken on guns? None.
Why, because the GOP believes 2A should have no restrictions.

Age restrictions.
Licence requirements.
Serial numbers.
Laws for usage.
Registration papers.

Meanwhile guns caused 48,202 US deaths and I would argue the cars were far more necessary for survival than the guns.
100 Years of the stupidest people you know recklessly speeding along in screaming metal death machines.
That's why 20ish mph is a desirable speed limit in residential areas, to help protect people outside of cars from being hit by cars.
Like most of his contemporaries, White did not blame the people walking in the street.
See also the 1980’s campaigns for bike helmets. Like the helmet saves you from 2 tons of steel.
And while bikers of all kinds are naturally exposed to more drastic impacts of an accident - what is the argument...
Helmets are a symptom, not a cure to street safety.

And protected bicycle infrastructure is simply a waste of ressources if the bicyclists won't adhere to road rules, let alone basic survival instincts.
Otherwise, traffic would be a survival of the strongest
Something that is not a crime outside North America
The world became smaller with the advent of the car and the plane (figuratively)
1) I am lazy
2) The weather.
