You're comparing bananas and apples in your analogy. A seat belt in a car is the equivalent of a locking pin on a gun to keep it for accidentally being fired, hence preventing injury. What you didn't equate properly in your analogy is the driver. If you have a mentally unstable, reckless, drunk or outright stupid driver no amount of safety features in a car whether a seat belt or air bag will make a difference if that driver will plow his/her car through a crowd of people and injure/kill many as effectively as someone with a fully automatic gun. I do agree on one point with you, all registered Democrats, mentally ill and those with criminal records should be prohibited from owning guns indefinitely. All other responsible people should be allowed to concealed carry anywhere in the US. I've lived in concealed carry states and I can assure you that being a possible victim of random crime is not something I ever had to worry about. Here in HI, I don't feel as safe with no CWP :-(
