Why should I be restricted from driving a reasonable vehicle just because everyone else wants to drive an assault vehicle?

    not to mention that you're punished for it if you don't buy a high riding vehicle, because every other vehicle nowadays has weaponized headlights for lowbeams

    There should be an immediate ban on assault style vehicles and all vehicles sold with black metal panels instead of wood. Fuel tanks should be restricted to 300km and transmissions should be manual not automatic!

    Shit, actually I would kill for a tiny, wood paneled, stick shift car...

    wow, guess I have to add an /s to this

    I get the other points but why wood panels? Seems like an aesthetic choice really. Don't force PT cruisers on everyone, that's too cruel.

    There was at least one firearm banned in Canada, the all black metal and plastic variant, who's wood stock counterpart was permitted. It was a jab at the smooth brain, black guns are scary, policy makers we have.
