I think it's an excellent comparison, and I think all the requirements and responsibilities that are imposed upon drivers of cars should also be applied to gun ownership.
Therefore ownership of an automatic or semi-automatic firearm should have the following:
- mandatory insurance,
- licenses that are periodically renewed,
- registration with a state-wide database,
- qualification tests and a clean record to own one
- revocation of license if you show a grossly negligent or illegal train of behavior,
- revocation of license if you have a handicap (physical or mental) that prevents you from responsibly operating said device.
Pretty simple and straightforward.
And everyone who fits these requirements should own a gun, as a responsible citizen.
ONE is a priledge
AND the other is A
RIGHT
You're comparing apples too watermelons.
We have a RIGHT to a well regulated militia
Putting responsibilities on gun owners does not violate their constitutional rights
