Why the Key to Curbing Gun Violence and Ending Mass Shootings Lies in Our Driving Laws

When I was 16, I got my driver’s permit. At 16 and 4 months I walked into my first Driver’s Ed class at Conard High School. My teacher told our class that the reason we were there is because driving a car is like “carrying a loaded weapon.” I then had to watch a video about safe (and unsafe) driving, including images of violent car crashes — what went wrong when that “loaded weapon” went off. Cars can be dangerous. Cars can kill. That’s why we had to learn to use them properly, he said. That’s why we had to learn the rules of the road. That’s why we had to take classroom and road instruction, practice alongside a licensed driver and then pass an eye test, a written test, and a practical exam. Every single one of the 50 states and the District of Columbia has at least one testing requirement in order to obtain a license before legally operating a vehicle, regardless of age. <a href="https://ruthiefierberg.medium.com/why-the-key-to-curbing-gun-violence-and-ending-mass-shootings-lies-in-our-driving-laws-d6d92753410e">Visit Now</a>
