mowed down by a car 'doing 100mph' A UK mother and her four children are fighting for their lives

Yet cars kill as many people as guns. And both death rates have been going down for years. And there are a lot more guns than cars in the U.S so guns are safer. You are more likely to be in an auto accident than you are to get shot. How many auto accidents have you been in?

Even in a war? Interesting. Never knew that cars were as lethal as guns. Then I really wonder why we don't just send our troops over to the war theaters in cars.

I didn't say in war, you guys were talking about that. I am guessing that in recent history the U.S. Has killed more of the enemy from the air than by guns on the ground. And we have probably had a lot of our troops killed by IED's and the like, I'm not sure how this compares to those killed by gunfire. So airplanes seem to be the way to go.
