BS misinformation. Without freedom of movement, your Second Amendment would be worthless. You wouldn't even be able to get ammunition for your guns, if you can't move freely on public roads. It is amazing how you people have been brainwashed to believe that everything is a "privilege" granted by the government, except gun ownership. The government is laughing at you. They are letting you play with your little toys, while they are taking all of your other rights away.
"The right of a citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, by horse-drawn carriage, wagon, or automobile, is not a mere privilege which may be permitted or prohibited at will, but a common right which he has under his right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Thompson v.Smith, 154 SE 579, 11 American Jurisprudence, Constitutional Law, section 329, page 1135
The "proof" that you posted is no such thing. The court decision you are citing has to do with whether or not an individual needs to be licensed in order to operate a motor vehicle. It has absolutely nothing to do with the right to own a motor vehicle, which is the center of the argument. Show me a court decision which states that an individual has the right to own a motor vehicle.
Lets see you try walking to the nearest munitions factory, to buy your ammo, when the government decides to revoke your "privilege" of driving.
See we have this thing called the Internet, it allows you to buy things from people around the nation and have that item shipped directly to your house.
Here we go again. More gun maniacs who think it's a cool idea to give loaded firearms to kids.
NORTH HARRIS COUNTY, Texas -- A 17-year-old boy is facing a serious charge after allegedly lying about the accidental shooting of his 16-year-old sister.
The boy reportedly told deputies that he brought the gun home after getting it from a family member. It’s unclear which relative the .45 caliber might’ve come from.

Just like any other dangerous activity, with proper education and training, it is not a problem.
As with ANY dangerous activity (walking, riding a tricycle or bicycle, riding a motorcycle, driving a vehicle, etc), if the person, regardless of age, is not properly trained and educated, tragedies can happen.
Many of us got our first gun when we were 12 years old (that is the age, in this state, at which one can get a hunting license, IF one has passed a Hunter Safety Course). Most of us have never injured or killed anybody since then.
Sorry, but even if you can find 100 such examples, that number would be meaningless alongside the number of well trained, responsible gun owners and users in the country!
There are many things in this world which injure or kill many more children than guns do. How often have you ranted against them?
And gunnuts love to lie. They could care less that their six year old son just put a bullet in his four year old sister's face. All they care about is getting the six year old to lie about it, so they don't lose their gunz.
A Wisconsin dad is under fire for allegedly telling his 6-year-old son to lie about shooting his 4-year-old sister in the face.
Officials said the boy initially told investigators he picked up the shotgun and then dropped it, at which point it fired and hit his sister.
He later admitted that his dad told him to lie about how the gun discharged. His revised story was that his sister asked him to point the gun at her. The accident happened when he aimed it too close to her ear while trying to aim past her shoulder.
The boy's mother told investigators that her son had been trained to use firearms since he was 3 and even had his own .22 caliber rifle that he was allowed to shoot with adult supervision,

Are you seriously down to that level? Giving us one example and extrapolating that out to the 50 million households? Look at you, there is a reason you are getting baked alive in this thread and even the gun control advocates are not coming to your defense. You are not engaging in logical discussions that even they can support. You lost credibility back on post one.
This is why you got chased out of the true crime forum as well.
Banning guns because of such horrible (but rare) events, is like wanting to ban cars because of drunk drivers. Y'all forget that most gun owners are not lunatics, just like most people who own cars are not drunk drivers.

I agree. Let me go find an article where someone used a gun to save a life and now guns are used to protect 100 million people each year. Look at me, I'm just like KaaBoom now!!
