So you’re advocating a regression to 19th century mental asylums? Discarding humans as “hopeless” cases with no attempt to reintegration? That’s a bit sick.
Contrary to what car makers would like you believe the right to drive is not a basic human right. In fact if anything designing a society solely for cars is what ignores the rights of many who naturally can’t drive (e.g. for health reasons).
Only in countries that are extremely car-centric. You don’t even realize how much your perception is warped by your country’s dysfunction in this regard.
In a better world, yes. In this world, capitalism won the fight for well-designed cities so now we are in a bind where people that shouldn’t drive “have” to be able to, and a driver’s license is just a suggestion. Cheap cars are abundant and easily available so unless a person is in jail, they can’t practically be prevented from driving.
Whatever sensible conditions to prevent people from owning firearms, should apply to even more deadly weapon. They should still be able to have access to a motorcycle, or the vehicle class that is Citroen Ami, which is a 25mph maximum speed car classified as somewhat close to a bicycle. License still needed, but 14 year olds can access.
Ok but Hitler was literally mentally ill. Could he have been rehabilitated? With the methods available at the time? The methods of today? Would that be just? Safe? How much do you trust the science?
It’s not some crazy hypothetical. There are thousands of people walking around right now who have that same capacity and drive to do evil.

No. Just that where gun licensing/purchase criteria apply to cars and/or SUVs.

@Archangel1313 @humanspiral Honestly, I am sorry in your country driving is a presequisite of living, but driving an SUV is very much not a human right

Do you think Adolf Hitler could be rehabilitated?
Maybe through empathy, or the power of prayer, a mosquito can be convinced to live a vegan lifestyle?
Ah yes, the mentally ill are literally Hitler. Or literally insects. What a well-rounded person’s opinion.
