(12,344 posts)About 600 fatal gun accidents per year. I didn't see any statistics on fatal accidents with cars parked in garages, but I'd guess it's about zero. Not the same. But if parked cars in garages started suddenly on their own and ran over 600 people a year, you can bet their would be some federal regulation on it.
Millions of cars around the world have been recalled due to deaths by airbags. Do you know how many people have been killed by faulty airbags? 18.
Do you know how many deaths it took to create a federal ban on lawn darts? One.
As for the gun show loophole, I researched it and I was actually referring to "private gun sales." Illegal in my state. I think it should be illegal in every state. Or at least the law should be that if you sell someone a gun, and they commit a crime with that gun, you go to jail too. Unless you go through a gun dealer.
Federal laws violating the Commerce Clause? Where have you been for the last 80 years? That's how long it's been since FDR got the SCOTUS to change the interpretation and created most of the federal laws you probably love to hate. Today's SCOTUS probably wouldn't go for it, but if the balance on the court changes, that could change too.
