Whilst both are completely off-topic for the list, both firearms (and 
any otherwise ballistic weapon - I know this from years of archery, in 
addition to firearms training), and motor vehicles, are equally lethal 
weapons, and, both should be subjected to the same degree of regulation 
in the licensing of the owners and users.

Here in Australia, if a person wants to kill someone else, and does it, 
if the killer uses a motor vehicle as the weapon, if caught and 
convicted, the penalties are trivial, and it is not even treated as an 
unlawful killing.

Unfortunately, in some countries (not referring to Australia), where 
killing people is the national pastime and primary recreational 
activity, people can buy any kind of ballistic weapon, without any 
worthwhile regulation, to encourage the recreational activity of killing 
people.
