A Problem with a Right-Wing Cliche

One of the commonest memes in the gun-rights community is “If guns should be banned because they're dangerous, why don't leftists want to ban cars?” There's a minor problem with this: Leftists do want to ban cars. They resent the “System” that they imagine forces them to drive.

In the near future, I expect to see a left-wing proposal to ban high-capacity gas tanks.
