Ok. You are proposing I should be able to buy any gun I want whenever I want regardless of size or capacity, automatic, or loud or silenced for cash without any checks or regulations at all? That the only requirement to use it in public is that I need a license - BUT - that carry license is good in all 50 states?
... that sounds good to me! Let’s do it.
Yours is an argument based entirely in ignorance of gun laws. And maybe car laws too.

- etrabroline 7y agoBut that's how loosely cars are regulated, and you said you wanted guns regulated like cars. I think what you meant to say is to regulate guns much more strictly than cars.
- kortilla 7y agoWell that’s how purchasing a car works, so... Maybe you’re confusing purchasing a car with licensing a car?
- Dylan16807 7y agoIt's not a tradeoff between manufacturing restrictions and licensing restrictions.
- Seirdy 7y agoI believe he was referring to licensing a car, since the following sentence referred to "simple licensing." > regardless of size or capacity Vehicles of different size/capacity do require different qualifications to drive. Certain classes of vehicles require a CDL for their class. See https://driving-tests.org/cdl-classification-licenses/ https://driving-tests.org/cdl-classification-licenses/. You also have to be 21+ in may states to even apply for them in many states.
