Those who prattle on about “Guns should be regulated like cars” will be ignoring this story. It doesn’t fit the narrative.
A seven-year-old girl was tragically killed in a ‘freak accident’ at a car hopping competition on Sunday night at the warehouse about 14 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles…It was totally a freak accident. The car throttle got stuck when it was being moved to the trailer. It was not hopping. It was not performing in any shape or form,’ Andre Pierson of the National Lowrider Association told NBC4.
To avoid a large group of spectators, the driver swerved and hit a stack of water bottles on pallets, estimated at 12 feet high and 500 pounds in weight. The pallets fell on Mia crushing her and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Now the competition themselves look fairly dangerous.
A car hopping around with people crowded around. Looks like having the driver control the hydraulics remotely is also par for the course. Still this didn’t happen during competition, but after.
Still these are hardly road legal cars. If we regulate cars like guns, it means I can build full-auto guns and explosives so long as I never shoot them on public land.
Yeah, there’s a reason why they TALK about “Starting a Discussion” but do anything they can to avoid ACTUALLY having one.
