They are all equally dangerous in the wrong hands as well.
Common with these is some form of certification to be allowed to use these items tho' not to be able to buy and sell

True but people expect to have training (today, not always though) before using tanks, cars and hang gliders. In all of these cases with a lesser extent with cars, insurance companies forced training requirements with some industry support. Insurance companies don't seem to play much of a role in our sport yet. How to more effectively build awareness? It would be good to see more initiatives coming from the Industry, hint.
Guns are more complicated and I am glad we aren't trying to reform that area, kiting is a tall enough order.
