The government tracks licensed drivers, but cannot track who owns a gun? Give me a break!

Guns can be used to kill people. There is a vested public interest in being able to track where these things are and who has them.

Just because the government knows which cars I own does not mean they are interfering with my freedom to drive wherever I please.

I can't believe they get away with stupid excuses like that.
