Don’t want to burst your bubble but the number of fatalities for cars has dropped to below guns - even as number of miles driven and car ownership has increased and gun ownership has decrease. There is a role for sensible regulation and policy in saving lives - as cars prove.

Cars are limited. Who can drive them, where, how fast, under what conditions, in what conditions, and what safety equipment is required are all regulated. They are registered and a license is required to operate it.

All of this is a good idea, I don't think it makes sense to treat them differently than vehicles for precisely the reason that each carries its own danger.

One difference. Guns were more of a necessity many years ago. Before modern communications that allow people to contact the police quickly and have them respond quickly. It may still be a necessary tool in certain remote areas. 1/2

Yours is a blessed life to have never had to deal with a DMV in your state.

Ok. Then let’s introduce licenses for guns as we have it for driving vehicles. Only can own and operate a gun if passed state Examen and test.

Oh - and we have a limitation in actually ALL of the US of how to use cars. Called speed limits. So while we are at that gun/car comparison let’s put that into here as well. Limitations for gun owners.
-
Speed limits are, like many laws, ignored frequently. In fact, more people break speed limit laws than any other law in the country. I'm not saying that we can't or shouldn't make gun ownership safer, but owning a gun is a right, whereas owning a car is not.
