what if we treated guns like cars

[stellarborg]

you are free to own one, you just got to register it, undergo and pass training if you want to operate one, and have it on record if you transfer ownership to anybody else

is that such a terrible thing?

 

[Fatchops]

Yes. Poor people shouldn't have either.

2nd amendment.

Nothing in the constitution about cars.

 

[Islam Imamate]

That would be interesting though in the US there is the 2nd amendment which protects one's right to own a gun and no such law for cars so legally speaking they're completely different

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Yes.

 

[Diamond Jim]

2nd amendment.

Nothing in the constitution about cars.

Yeah. There's a reason for that.

 

[oldshadow]

Yeah. There's a reason for that.

Yea the same reason as the 1st amendment and others.

 

[j123]

So... there would be ricers for guns? Sounds horrible

Spoiler

 

[Graves The Elder]

it would be beneficial for the government since they could tax the shit out of guns/gun owners like they do for car owners.
for gun owners, not so much.
they're supposed to be registered, that's enough IMO.

 

[asharak]

Don't forget insurance

You only need all that shit if you''re gonna drive public roads. You can build your own car in your private property and do whatever the fuck with it... as long as it's on your property. You don't need a license, you don't need to register, you don't need insurance. So fuck you.

 

[ripskater]

yes

 

[Byron Carter]

Think about what you wrote.

The 2nd Amendment was written to allow the people to defend themselves against their enemies, foreign and domestic, and you think it's a good idea to let the government pick and choose who can actually own one, and know where they all are?

Really?

Lock 'em up without any due process. What's the problem?

 

[SODACKER]

Yes, the answer is yes.

Mental lunatics can own cars. Is that a good idea?

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

We have 2nd amendment.

What does this mean Rip.

It's quite evident not everyone should own guns.

How is this even up for debate

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

Yeah. There's a reason for that.

Which amendment deals with horses and buggies?

I agree not everyone should own a gun, but we are all given that right by the Constitution.

Same as not everyone should have kids, but you can't sterilize certain members of the population.
