This was from my local paper. I deleted the person's name. By their sarcasm and incorrect terminology, they're obviously not a gun person.
Five ways owning a gun should be similar to owning a car
I have accepted the fact that the 2nd Amendment is never going to go away, and I may as well try talking to a wall (a blank wall with bullet holes in it) convincing our Legislators to ban assault weapons of any kind. So let’s play the hand we are dealt. If we are going to have weapons, let’s treat them like the vehicles we drive.
You have to pass a test to drive a car. That license is good for all states. The same rule should be applied to owning a weapon.
A car registration is usually updated every year and so should a weapon.
A car must be insured and so should a weapon.
A driver’s license must be renewed every year or every couple of years, and so should a weapon.
You have to have a license marked if you are driving a commercial vehicle or a motorcycle. The type of weapon you own should be noted on your license.
Paying for license, registration and insurance of a weapon on a regular basis would increase revenue and make me and others feel a little safer.
Now, a lot of people may think that these new rules are just trying to keep them from owning a gun, or to put it bluntly, weapon suppression.
Perhaps they can understand what it is like for a lot of voters.
