It's probably time we admit cars that are a bit too useful as weapons to continue affording them the vast uncritical access they currently enjoy in our built environments.

Cars in Germany are pretty much exactly as regulated as guns:
You need a license which costs €€€€, you need insurance which costs €€€/year, you need to pay yearly taxes, you need to register it in your name, you are subject to regular inspections, and when you don't follow the rules, you lose your license and potentially your car.
