Generally, it's considered quite hard to carry a concealed automobile into a
public building for the purposes of committing a crime. This is further
complicated by the typical size of vehicle that seems to be favoured by the
American market.
Of course, one must also reach a certain age and undergo education and
testing in the use of a motor car, to ensure the proper level of responsible
handling. Controlling one whilst drunk or otherwise impaired constitutes an
offence, as does allowing one to be used by minors. Can the same be said of
guns?
