It's none of the government's business what's under the "hood".
No waiting period to pick up your car or any background checks involved
We give a drivers license to every seventeen-year-old high school student who can pass a lowest-common-denominator Drivers Ed course. A course that can be successfully passed by a lobotomized chimpanzee.
We even give drivers licenses to 16 year-old kids who state that they have a particular hardship with no limits on what they can drive or even own.
You'll give a gun license to every 17 year-old who wants one, even if he has a police record -- just like a drivers license.
Any person who possesses a drivers license can drive on any public road on any state in the Union. They can drive on school grounds, they can drive on college campuses, and they can drive to any courthouse in the Union.
You'll let anyone with a gun license carry a gun anywhere they want to, in every State in the Union -- just like a drivers license.
Drivers licenses issued by one State must be honoured by all other States. Anyone with a Texas Drivers License can drive any car he (or she) wants to, anywhere in New York City that he can fit. And the New York authorities don't have a thing to say about the matter.
You'll let any 17 year-old cowboy from Bugscuffle, West Texas carry his gun anywhere he wants to in New York and tell the New York authorities they can't do anything about it -- just like a drivers license.
If you get caught driving a car without your drivers license, you get a $90 traffic ticket that comes off your record in three years.
Tell me that if that Texas cowpoke is visiting Chicago, and gets caught carrying his gun without his license, he just gets a citation -- just like a drivers license.
No one must undergo a background check to get a drivers license, any felon can get a drivers license, no background mental health checks are required for a drivers license.
You'll let everyone -- 17 to 70, felons, no mental checks, pay your money, take your test, here's your gun license -- just like a drivers license.
If I'm on private property, I don't even need a driver license to drive any car I want to, the only limit to the number of cars I can possess is the size of my bank account.
I can buy as many cars at once as my wallet can stand, and I can buy a car off a street corner in Compton today, another from a back-yard in New York tomorrow. Pay the taxes, transfer the title and that's it.
I can import cars as many as a I want, from any country that I want, and I can sell or trade any or all of them to anyone I want -- and the Federal Government doesn't have word one to say about the matter.
I build any car I want to in my garage -- with no Federal permission; I can modify, cut-down, trick-out, customize or skeletonize any car I want to without so much as a "Yes", "No", "Boo", "Kiss my ass" or "By your leave" from the Federal Government.
Oh, I'm sorry you were probably trying to be funny and it just came out ignorant and totally thought free.
