At what point is driving a car (outside of a closed track; thwts fine) not murderous intent?
Literally every single time you don't intend to murder someone.
What a dumbass question.
Again a ridiculous argument. One is literally intended to kill someone, the other is a means of transportation. I'm not a fan of cars either but if you actually want to get people on board with the cause equating anyone who drives with Wernher Von Braun is a bad move.
Rockets don't exist purely to kill people.
In fact, they are a mode of transit! Can you get a man to the moon in a car?
Cool story.
The rockets you were referencing were never a means of transport, only a long distance weapon used by Nazis. And apparently I'm not an ally because I don't think literally everyone who drives is as bad as a Nazi war scientist who made some of the Nazis deadliest weapons? Are literally just a troll to make this sub look bad?
And guns are just dangerous toys you take out to the range sometimes. It's cool.
do you work on the moon
When rockets take people to space then we do care where they come down, and that's strategically decided to avoid killing people. If you mean rockets with explosives attached that are designed with the intent to kill people, then your comparison is equally as dumb as your first one.
Totally different than cars though. Because reasons.
They are. You ever heard of a car being launched from a gun or a plane with the intent to kill someone?
Maybe this will help clear things up...

Cool story bro. Try arguing in good faith.
You're really not making yourself look intelligent here.
I havent seen any indicator that's what this space was for.
