At least 35 injured as a driver – identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US citizen – plowed his truck into a crowd celebrating New Year before firing a weapon. The FBI is now investigating the mass casualty event as an act of terrorism.

Cars are weapons. They should be controlled to the equal level guns are, which should be much more than they currently are.

Don't worry I know the down votes are coming.

Controlled to the Equal level guns are?

You are required to attain and maintain a license to be able to operate a car. You usually need insurance in case you harm another person with your car. You can quickly and easily get your license to use a car revoked, even without anybody getting hurt or killed, and your use is constantly under scrutiny and regulated.

Guns should be controlled to the equal level cars are, not the other way around.
