we don't take away the cars, but we do take away the drivers!
Also, cars serve many purposes man, guns serve one. (or a few if you're Homer Simpson)

Some law abiding citizens like guns. They like to own them, to shoot them at targets, to collect them and to hunt with them. They don't kill anybody with them and they don't let their children kill anybody with them either.
I myself am not a gun owner. I have no need for them personally, although I've been to the firing range a few times.
Yes you're right cars server another purpose. What about Alochol as I asked above? What useful purpose does it serve? I myself tend not to drink. I don't like drunk people around me, I find them annoying. People get drunk and crash cars, beat their wives and ruin families every single day. You're allowed to purchase booze because society trusts in you to do the right thing with it. Many people do not.
