(30,058 posts)Then do nit attempt to get a drivers license, do not get behind the wheel of a vehicle and you will not be subject to any checking which may or may not occur but the rest of those who drive expect all drivers to know how to handle the vehicle and rules of the road and be insured to take care of damages they may cause during driving on our roads. If you fly you are subject to a check to see if you are on a no fly list, security screening and other rules the airline you are flying on may have. If you teach in schools you are subject to background checks. All of these privileges we have available are with strings attached. Why should there not be rules for gun owners simply because 10% of the population thinks suddenly someone is violating their privacy. Most hun owners are responsible, sensible and reasonable and understands why safety is first and foremost.
BTW, of all things I am not RW, if so I would not enjoy this site but do realize as long as we have a civilized society there will be rules.
