Opinions are like a certain part of the body and everyone is welcome to theirs. You are the one who made the comparision of guns to automobiles. I was merely pointing out that as dangerous as automobiles are ther Founding Fathers would probably have made some mention of them in the Constitution if they had existed back then. However as dangerous as automobiles are the perfered mode of transportation for the Founding Fathers was not without peril demonstrated by my actual family history. The dangers of travel are not something new and has always existed so rather than banning automobiles maybe we should ban travel. There was a recent thread on here about a woman who met her death while hiking so even walking is not without danger.
To try to ban automobiles or guns is an exercise in futility just as the hope to complete eliminate the dangers associated with either one. However we can possibly reduce the dangers associated with both.

Are you the only person on this site that can post an opinion?Well I don't think the fellows who wrote the Constitution rode around in automobiles or they would probably have included something about that inthe Bill of Rights. Since everyone is always talking about what they did and thought maybe we should travel like they did. It would be a lot safer. I know a lot more people that ride in automobiles than carry guns so I would suspect that more would be killed by automobiles than guns. However I don't think that was the case back in 1796. I did have a Great-Great-Uncle that was killed in a horse and buggy accident back in the late 1800's.:X
