Yes, this is a excellent point. With all of the driving training people are required to have and the hours upon hours of everyday experience people have with cars, there are no longer problems with people injuring themselves and others with cars. Since we've all had it pounded into our heads that drunk driving is dumb, no one would dare get into a car after a few drinks... and well trained gun owners would never pack heat after a few brews. Since we all have listened to everything about the latest big rage, road rage, there is no longer any aggressive driving causing problems. Likewise, well trained gun owners would never do something dumb in anger on the spur of the moment with a gun... like shoot somebody for cutting them off in traffic. -- Crist J.
