It has happened again. A mass killing at the hands of a person armed with a vehicle. At least 10 dead in Toronto.
Yet, the bloodthirsty ghouls at the American Automobile Association stubbornly oppose common sense vehicle reform. Specifically, AAA oppose background checks and three day waiting periods before people can buy or rent vehicles. They oppose a ban on assault vehicles such as panel vans, SUVs, pick-up trucks, and other assault vehicles. And don't even get me started about the car show loophole.
No one needs an assault vehicle. Everyone should drive only Smart cars, mini-Coopers, and similar small vehicles.
No US citizen has a Constitutional right to own or drive an assault vehicle. Now, I know this latest attack was inflicted on our Canadian allies, but, in terms of the US, our founding fathers could never have imagined the speed, power, and size of modern assault vehicles. Therefore, it is time that the US Supreme Court revisit its decision that the Constitution gives Americans the right to travel.
Clearly, that right of travel should not include assault vehicles. Indeed, the only right of travel that the Constitution requires is the right to travel like they did when the Constitution was adopted: i.e., travel by walking, horse riding or riding horse-drawn coaches.Even bicycles did not exist at the time the Constitution was written and approved, so no one has a Constitutional right to own or ride a bike.
We need to boycott the AAA and their advertisers until they endorse background checks for vehicle buyers and renters. They also must approve outlawing assault vehicles.
I'm calling on all students to walk out of class on May 4 and march in favor of common sense vehicle reform. Plus, it will add a 3 day weekend.
Stop the madness! Common sense vehicle reform now! Save the children!
