One thing I learned in my journey to power a home and drive an electric car is that automobiles, even small “slow” cars, are thr most powerful thing that most people ever personally own. A firearm will accelerate a 7.5 gram projectile up to 425 meters per second. But my car will accelrate 1600 kg up to 44 meters per second and I can just take it wherever I want. I could even get a larger, faster one if I wanted and nobody would care.
Unfortunately, evil people are starting to realize that heavy machinery is a far more deadly weapon than firearms in untrained hands. Guns may be for killing, but their chief merit is that they are designed to be reusable and at range, intended to encourage trained soldiers to fight in relative safety for many days.
The people taking cars and ramming into parades? They don’t want to live, so they can use an extremely powerful weapon, no skill required. And this tool is everywhere, just barely regulated.

Its also very easy to kill someone with a car “aCciDenTaLly” and get away with it, maybe have to pay a ticket.
