It's Time to Deal with Car Violence

There were over 10,000 deaths caused by cars operated by drunk drivers in 2014. It's time for us to confront the rising tide of car violence plaguing our country. Many of these deaths were caused by cars with automatic transmissions which allows rapid acceleration just by pushing the pedal to the metal without having to manually change gears. We need to ban interstate sales of cars, ban the manufacture of cars with automatic transmissions, and require background checks of all persons engaged in private sales. We need to close the car show loophole now! We don't need to ban cars, but we do need some "common sense" laws. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims of this senseless car violence. Thank you.
