Treat guns just like cars? A Rebuttal
Good response to another NYT anti gun-rights article arguing for treating gun ownership, like care ownership, etc. The biggest point is that gun ownership is specifically, constitutionally protected (Second Amendment) and there is a natural law and statutory right to self-defense. There are no such protections for car ownership, use, etc. Of course the constitution is irrelevant to the NYT folks.
Okay, treat guns like cars. No waiting period for purchase. Easy financing. No license needed to purchase; only for use on public property. No license of vehicle or person needed for use on private property, nor any limit on speed. A driver's license is recognized in any and all states.
