You register your car, you buy a license for your car, you must show the government your birth certificate before you can take a driving test to make sure you can drive your car, you purchase insurance for your car. No one is asking you to give up your guns, but perhaps people should take gun ownership privileges as seriously as they do their cars.
You have no constitutional right to drive. It is a privilege.
You have a constitutional right to own guns. You don’t license a right.
I've been fingerprinted, back ground checked, then BC checked again at the moment of sale, handguns are registered with the state and take a training class every 5 years. I also, on my own dime spend $100's a year to train.
You, me, and probably 90% or more of the responsible gun owner populace.
Well said.

Instead of spending their time blathering on about more restrictions for the law abiding, why don't the anti gun crowd spend their time and money trying to solve the issues that cause all the inner city violence ? Why aren't they targeting criminals ? The judicial system that lets felons back out on the streets ?
Probably, because they don't care about that...their agenda is to disarm the populace. Something I find very odd, since many of them on the left whine about Trump being a dictator.....

That is always my #1 "isn't that ironic?" thought when I hear anti-gun people shrieking how only the government should have guns. They all think Trump is some devil bearded caudillo dictator, but they all want to make sure only he and his government have guns.

Theres a private road bear my parents house.
It’s good to drive through if your into swerving potholes or destroying your tires...
