34. Guns vs Cars

I can drive my car to Canada and Mexico. I can put it on a ship and take it to Europe.

I can own as many cars as I can afford.

I can let my kids and sisters borrow my car.

Driver education is taught in many schools.

Pretty much any time a car is misused you get a ticket, most of the time it gets pleaded down to a parking ticket and a fine. And you get to drive home.

Wal-Mart does not sell cars.

Why should the government regulate what goes on in my temple/church? There should be a separation of church and state. The church/temple should be able to make the rules on firearms/no firearms. My church does not tell me what kind of car to drive.
