Driving on public property is a privilege, not a right.
Owning a gun is a right, not a privilege.
End of story...
That is the story. One is a right in the US Constitution, the other is not.
Now here is something to consider to the question in that car registration is a function in a state but not a function of the country (for private citizens). What happens to the question at hand if one has a state that decides it isn't going to register?
Of course, we can always get back to the heavy handed Congress card with "Do it or we withhold your highway funds"....................
Yes, there are regulations in arms ownership, but not to the degree to which car ownership abides by. You can't own a car without registering it. Guns , on the other hand, could be purchased at gun shows without anybody being accounted for it.
We all know violent crimes are down and that the 2nd amendment is well regarded (although outdated), but there still needs to be some sort of gun reform. Gun crimes need to be curtailed as much as possible.
With all due respect, stupid analogy. A car can't defend you from an out-of-control government.

Works great for cars......10 k killed each year in drunk driving related accidents. then think of all the people who survived and are crippled for life.
Wow! look what registration and insurance has done for autos! Only if we could apply that to guns!!!
" More than 50 percent of fatal crashes involve an alcohol-impaired driver More than 65 percent of fatal single car accidents are alcohol-related Over 36 percent of auto accidents involving a pedestrian list the pedestrian as being alcohol- impaired The average blood alcohol content of drivers arrested for driving while impaired is .2 percent – more than double the legal limit Approximately 10 percent of motorists on the road between 7pm and 3am are legally impaired People between 16 and 24 years old cause 42 percent of fatal drug- and alcohol-related car accidents Over 80 percent of Americans admit to having driven after drinking Roughly 50 percent of Americans can expect to be involved in an alcohol-related car accident during their lifetime "

You just gave away the fact that your interests in Gun Control are strictly political and nothing to do with public safety, when you indicated that only "Gun crimes..." need to be curtailed. Only GUN crimes, not ALL crimes, only "Gun crimes".
Also, where does one find the expiration date on a right?
Yes, you can own a car without registering it. Race cars aren't registered. Only cars driven on public streets need to be registered, and that exclude many farm vehicles that never leave the farm.
Also, the operation of a motor vehicle on public thoroughfares is NOT a Constitutionally-protected Right.

cars aren't constitutionally protected.
and you are utterly wrong about cars.
registration for your car is not for ownership. it is for driving on public roads.
you can own and operate an unregistered car so long as it never leaves your own private property.

Perhaps you should consider either getting some knowledge or changing your username. Obviously it isn't applicable..
If some of you are going to suggest there should be fees paid or licenses paid to use your 2 nd amendment then why not pay a fee or license to use your other bill of rights rights?
So your not a cyber bully or cyber terrorist ?, just pay the background check fee and pay the insurance and pay for the instruction class for proper 1st amendment usage and then you are free to use the web?

Yup, as soon as you show me the clause in the Constitution that protects cars.
