We, as Jalops, all enjoy cars. It’s one of our defining traits. While we may get into our own debates about whether cars are better for pleasure or commuting, long trips or short grocery runs, there’s one use case we can all agree is bad: Cars should really not be weapons.

You might think this is a universally agreed-upon take, but you’d be wrong. The use of cars as weapons has ticked upwards in recent years, and now even sitting senators are hinting at it. Senator Tom Cotton, from Arkansas, appeared to tacitly nod at the practice in a tweet earlier this week.
