And neither should owning a gun be a right. As I said, it's unnecessary in today's society.

It's unnessisary to own a gun in todays society?  Aren't you the one who just said people need to overthrow their corrupt governments?  Kinda hard without any access to guns when their militaries DO have guns.

Furthermore.  Not wearing a seatbelt doesn't make driving a car anymore dangerous for anyone but you.

The stats on seat belt useage go in several ways and could be used to indicate pretty much anything.  Some research shows that people that don't wear seat belts are better drivers.  Some research shows that people without seat belts are more likely to be thrown from the car.  Some research suggests that people that don't wear a seat belt are less likely to get in crashes and so on. 

There is really no point in even using stats when arguing about seat belt useage. Typically the big government types push the I was in an accident and I would have been thrown from the car and died if I didn't have a seat belt on.  The most common arguement from the people that like liberty is people have a right to not wear a seat belt.  Some of them will quote up to 4 different sections of the NH Constitution which they say prove that it is a right.

At least that's how the arguement usually goes in NH.  I don't think there is much of an arguement in many other places because in most places it is already established law (that people have to wear a seat belt) and the liberty lovers have given up on this issue.
