And you can only rent one truck per month...

And the truck and gasoline must be stored in separate, combination-locked safes. The ignition must be fitted with a lock as well.

they must have a governor which kicks in if the truck is driven over 3 mph, that way it will be impossible to run someone over as they can walk away!

If it needs to be pointed out Japan has one of the lowest crime rates in the world - though noone said that psychopaths don't come in all nationalities.

It should also be pointed too that the Japanese did ban guns - and they have a correspondingly low rate of gun crime. What there is is almost exclusively the work of organised crime (something else that is common to a lot of other countries).

In any case - as far as legislation goes, the logic runs something like this:

Should you make legislation based solely on the actions of a 1 in a million madman? Probably not...

Should you make legislation based on endemic problems related to the prevalence of weapons?

Sorry to cut in on the party here
