    Unequal comparison. A gaggle of teens is comparable to a wedding convoy. Slow, loud and annoying.

    A truck barreling down the road is like a group of gangbangers threatening to shoot anyone who looks at them funny.

      Considering I almost get run over every other day and I’ve never seen a gun outside of a shooting range I’d say your comparison is unfair.

      If we ignore that I live in Europe and not America, we can still look at some statistics:
      In 2020 45,222 people died to guns in America.
      In the same year 38,824 people died in motor vehicle accidents.

      They seem pretty comparable?
