There is a popular idea that we should regulate firearms the way we regulate automobiles. Really? Let’s see where that road leads. I wrote this for fun, but I was amazed at the ways we infringe on the right to bear arms.
-We can finally buy and sell our cars firearms across state lines.
-Each state and city now recognizes your drivers license license to carry concealed.
-You can rent a gun for the afternoon if your gun is in the shop.
-The city provides gun-storage locations free of charge in front of no-gun zones in order to attract customers to downtown. About time.
-A gun dealership can lease you a firearm on a five year payment plan.
(Continued)
Tell me what you think if we regulated firearms the way we regulate cars. |

Felons can drive them
16 year olds can drive them
you can own them at any age
at 60mph they have hundreds of thousands of ft-lbs of kinetic energy, where even big guns have 2-4 thousand ft-lbs.

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
