      The Heller case. Supreme Court specifically allowed licensing according to state legislation

      But honestly none of this explains why you think the guns/cars analogy is a good one

      I mean, that was my original - and entire - point.

      My point was car purchases do not require a background check.

      Technically true, but they often require many stringent prohibitions such as medical tests and tests of driving ability

      To operate one. And what about insurance? Definitely a good idea to insure guns like cars, right?

      We have numerous laws regulating the operation of firearms. To insure against?

      And they are barely 1/10th those regulating the operation of cars. The same things that car insurance covers - third-party damage, death etc

          Homeowners policies generally cover accidents with firearms.

          Sometimes. To a certain extent. Not usually for third parties, liability etc.

          Most regulations on operation of guns is to prohibit the operation, car regulations concern various limits on the operation.

          Aside from, of course, motor vehicle registration. Why not register all firearms, then?
