8. Difference between auto drivers and gun owners
Sat Mar 24, 2018, 12:07 PM
Mar 2018

Need a license to drive - none needed for gun ownership
Must pass a test to drive - None needed for shooting a gun
Must be at least a certain age to drive - No age limit to own a gun
Must abide about rules/regulations of the road - Do as you will with gun
Must be insured for possible harm to another - No insurance needed
Car must have min. safety equipment for protection of self and others - guns none

The NRA infested this country with fear. Everyone and anyone owning a gun makes a society unsafe.
