Clearly these types of assault vehicles should not be available to the general public.
These dangerous cars can reach speeds of over 100 miles an hour and even have speedometers that go up to 120 MPH.
This is excessive and un necessary since there is no place where they can be legally driven at that speed. Obviously only law enforcement should have such vehicles.
Why should the average person need anything more than a Prius, Leaf or a bicycle anyway?
They need to begin legislation to ban these high speed assault style sport vehicles immediately before more innocent people are victims.
Please Sen Reed, Schumer & DWS don't let the opportunity this tragedy has provided go to waste. You have the Presidents support. Think of the children.

Yet another example of preventable tragedy.

Tens of thousands of FATALITIES are caused every year by automobiles.

This does not even include the countless injuries and senseless street violence happening all over the nation.

Licensing is not working.

We need to ban all automobiles.

If we get the automobiles off the streets, there will be no more automobile deaths.

It's basic logic. Even a child can see.

NO CARS. NO DEATHS.

This is not even protected by the Constitution so there is NO EXCUSE.

Let's make it happen.

This is good common sense automobile legislation that is supported by 90% of the American people.  Why can't we make it happen?  It is a sad day.........
It is what it is.

As an avid daily driver I can see a place for automobiles in the hands of legitimate drivers in the general public. I drive often, daily even and sometimes on weekends and my family has a long rich history of driving. That said there is no place for these dangerous kinds of cars for basic transportation.
We all can get where we need to go with ease in vehicles that are limited to say 40 MPH. This is just common sense.
My wife was thinking about getting a car a few years ago but I reminded her that she would be more than happy with taking the bus

Shots Fired at U.S. Capitol in Washington

Partial video of the chase


Car driver apparently suffered from emotional issues.  Hot tempered, single mom, pregnant, lost her job, previous head injury, postpartum depression. I wonder what kind of medicine she might have been taking.

How about we change headline?

MOTHER OF CHILD SHOT DEAD BY GUN OWNER

OK back to assault vehicles, perhaps only SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES should be allowed, and only if the engine is removed, and a SAFETY LOCK is put in place so that nobody can ever start the car without answering 20 questions from the on-board computer, AND the gas tank limited to 10 fluid ounces.

According to DLNR, Over-Under style busses with wheel bases under 40' are not legal in Hawaii.  :D

So this is what it takes for the media to finally start looking at mental health instead of what inanimate object a crazy person used to commit a crime. Watch, they'll still find a way to blame Republicans or somehow cite that Obamacare would have given her access to mental health treatment...
