Quote by Eliot Spitzer

The irony is that it was tougher to rent a car from Cerberus when it owned Alamo than to buy a semi-automatic. To rent a car, one had to provide ID, a drivers' license, and get insurance coverage. To buy a gun? Cash and carry, from the back of a station wagon at a gun show. No concerns about downstream liability or risk.

The irony is that it was tougher to rent a car from Cerberus

Summary

This quote highlights the irony in the unequal regulations and ease of access between renting a car and purchasing a firearm in the context of Cerberus owning Alamo car rental and the gun trade. It emphasizes the stricter requirements for renting a car, such as identification, driver's license, and insurance, compared to the seemingly more relaxed process of buying a semi-automatic gun. The quote illustrates the contrast and raises concerns about the lack of more rigorous measures in place for acquiring firearms, including liability and risk factors.
