10 Die After Driver Plows Through Outdoor California Market
SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 16 2003 — An elderly motorist plowed through a crowded farmer's market here this afternoon, killing eight people and injuring dozens more, witnesses and the police said. [The Associated Press reported on Thursday that a ninth person died overnight and a tenth died this morning.] The burgundy 1992 Buick that the man was driving sent pedestrians and merchants' stalls flying, leaving a trail of bodies and debris.

Based on the aforementioned news briefs, taken from different "News" reporting agencies, with one going back to 2003, it is MY opinion that Buicks, SUV's, Hondas, Subarus, and Jeep Cherokees be added to the "target" (no pun intended) examples in the next Assault Weapons legislation. Most data I've been able to find suggests that automobiles inflict more injury and death on us citizens than do guns, yet, nobody in washington seems to be the least bit concerned about the havoc these vehicles are wreaking upon us. Furthermore, while the firearm enjoys protection under the bill of rights, there is no such protection offered the automobile under the constitution.
