Unless "do whatever you want on private property and do a pretty wide range of things in public with a trivially easy to get license" is your policy goal you probably don't want to bring up the car comparison.
- ceejayoz 4y agoWhy? “Trivially easy to get license” would be an improvement here.
- throwaway0a5e 4y agoWe already generally subject firearms stuff to licensing if you want to have your armaments with you in public. Some states have basically none. Some states have onerous regulation. We'll split the difference. Across the whole nation we have a fairly substantial set of restrictions on what you can and can't own, regardless of whether or not you only ever use it on private property (there are no such restrictions for cars). So the net effect would be mostly no change in public and a massive net loosening of restrictions in private. Personally I'm fine with this. But I think you'll probably be clamoring to have the status qou back as soon as your local extremists start posting youtube videos of 14yos firing mortars at their summer BBQ.
