By the same logic, the idea that in order to give a car to one's teenage child one must go to a government office and get said teenager licensed is also absurd.

Lets not forget that guns are devices whose primary function is to kill things very efficiently. I'd argue that if you're not willing to spend $50-$100 and wait a few days, then you're not treating that kind of transfer of power with the respect it deserves.
- steverb 13y agoSorry, but you can give a car to anyone. You're not responsible for making sure they are a licensed driver, or that the car is registered. That's the recipient's problem, and as long as they aren't driving the car it's perfectly legal for them not to need either of those things.
- glenra 13y agoBetter still, they can even drive the car! Just can't drive it legally on the public roads. But they can drive it all they want on private property. If we treated guns like cars, a 14-year-old could buy as many guns as he wanted with no waiting period and possess them and keep them at home and use them at home and transport them elsewhere and use them freely at a private shooting range or in an emergency.
