way to ignore the licensing and registration!
- themacguffinman 4y agoI didn't feel it was necessary to address licensing and registration because as you know, practically all drivers on the road are licensed and registered and it has yet to solve the truly enormous magnitude of gory car deaths. If one were easily swayed by gory scenes, they would want to go much further than license and registration.

- themacguffinman 4y agoThat's fair, sometimes it can turn people off, I can believe that such graphic warnings could reduce gun ownership overall if applied to gun packaging. Do you think that the Texas school shooter who inspired this HN post would have been deterred from purchasing and using his gun to kill children if he had seen graphic warning labels on the packaging of his gun?
- voganmother42 4y agoSolve it? So you think everyone should just drive with no training, and you believe that would improve the magnitude of gory car deaths? I suppose you are against seat belts too?
- themacguffinman 4y agoUh no, I'm just saying license and registration is irrelevant to the question of whether "We need gory pictures from the executed kids everywhere". We already have license and registration requirements for cars, but if stopping gory deaths is my motivation then license and registration requirements would not be enough to placate me, it would effectively be a call for tougher restrictions, so I decided to focus on the tougher restrictions on cars that was suggested (eg related to drunk driving).
