They go after this platform, because it's a favorite of mass shooters. You know this.
Toyota Camrys are also a favorite of car crashers, never you mind that they're one of the most owned cars, correlation=causation dammit!
Red owners tend to drive their cars faster and ...... Tend to get more tickets.
And wouldnt you know it, BECAUSE cars can do a shitload of damage in the wrong hands, they require years of training and certification to be able to legally operate.
I didn't have to do years of training. I took a 2 week driver's ed course and took a test. Had my provisional as soon as I turned 15.
But on the other side to get a hunting license when I was a kid I had to do a state run hunter safety class to learn about gun safety.
I dont know the Details for the States, but for Canada, the first Test you pass gets you a Learners, in which you arent allowed to drive without a full licence Driver present, and you're only allowed to take your restricted New Driver's license after a year of having an L and not getting any tickets, and then a year after that you can finally get an unrestricted license. Multiple years. But I guess if the states is stupid with itd guns, it'd make sense its stupid with its cars too
We let any idiot with a pulse drive because in most of rural America you'd starve to death without a car
