The 2016 Nice terror attack killed more than 80 people. Last year a man driving a rental truck killed eight people on a bicycle path in New York City. Also last year, 13 people were killed in Barcelona, eight more died in a car attack in London and four were killed in Stockholm. If a gun had been the weapon instead of a vehicle, all of those would have been mass shootings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow should we define an \u2018assault vehicle,\u2019\u201d he wondered. \u201cIs it a van or truck? Does it have a high-powered engine? Does it have an automatic transmission? Can it be fitted with a high capacity fuel tank? Do they all come in solid black, or are other colors available? Can they be equipped with large mufflers to suppress engine noise? Once we define them, should we ban them, require special training to operate them, or just raise the age limit to buy or rent one?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOr is the problem the individual driver, rather than the equipment he turns into a weapon,\u201d Gottlieb challenged. \u201cOnce you realize how absurd it is to call a car an \u2018assault vehicle,\u2019 you see the lunacy of defining, and then banning, so-called \u2018assault rifles.\u2019<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/alan-gottlieb-shooting-at-congressional-baseball-team-result-of-democratic-hate-speech\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"saf-vehicles-are-assault-weapons\" title=\"CCRKBA: Media Needs to Start Calling Vehicles 'Assault Weapons'\" rel=\"bookmark\">Second Amendment Foundation: Scalise Shooting Result of Democratic Hate Speech<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cInstead,\u201d he suggested, \u201cwe need to focus the blame where it belongs, on the deranged, violent person who commits the violent act. We don\u2019t reflexively demonize every other motorist for the acts of a madman, so why do some people insist on penalizing every gun owner for the acts of criminals?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe time has come to stop this blame-shifting nonsense,\u201d Gottlieb said. \u201cIt is deceptive and dishonest, and doesn\u2019t prevent or solve anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>About Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms<\/h2>\n<p>With more than 650,000 members and supporters nationwide, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccrkba.org\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"saf-vehicles-are-assault-weapons\" title=\"CCRKBA: Media Needs to Start Calling Vehicles 'Assault Weapons'\">www.ccrkba.org<\/a>) is one of the nation&#8217;s premier gun rights organizations.
