42. If guns were like cars

Sun Nov 1, 2015, 01:12 PM

Nov 2015

If guns were like cars,
I'd be able to order a fully automatic weapon off of the internet, have it shipped right to my private property without any kind of background check, and shoot it to my hearts content on my own property.
I would be able to put that fully automatic weapon on a trailer, drive it to my friends private property, and shoot it on his private range. I would be able to trailer my fully automatic weapon wherever I want to go, and shoot it on whatever private property allows me to shoot it.
There would be no background checks in place, and even if I have had multiple DUI's and no drivers license due to my criminal past, had literally proven I was a danger to society when I drive on public roads,
I would still be legal to own all the cars I want, and drive them on any private track or property I have permission, on my own property as much as my heart desires.
Controllers just do not get the rights of the individual, do they?
