I don't question the resolve of people to make a dollar. However, if guns were forbidden, the black market price would be exceptionally high (driving out small time bad guys from the market) and make those who do have the funds to acquire them more hesitant to use them (it would be a crime to possess them and by shooting one a person would give himself away as possessing one).

Whoever conferred on your “law” degree should have their accreditation credentials stripped.

What public funds does a gun owner use by use of a gun? Registration is about taxing not safety.

And if you have taken the driver test in TN in the last decade you know it's not a safety thing. They dont even make you parallel park. One of my class mates passed even though he hit another vehicle on his test. We were laughing until he walked out with the license in hand.

And the license is to drive, not to own, the car. And you could still legally drive without a license of you stay off of public roads. So unless the government is going to start running shooting lanes you dont have a real comparison.

This seems like a very weak response.
I’ve known plenty of people to fail drivers test. Poor execution by testing centers has nothing to do with why they test.
Licensing is absolutely for public safety. Registration is about licensing the vehicle.
Taxes are collected by dealers, although the clerk does collect on individual purchases. In states where there is no sales tax, they still require testing, registration and licensing.
With cars, the vehicle and the person both have to be licensed (registered).

Licensing has zero to do with public safety. If it did I wouldn’t see people turning without signals, running red lights, tailgating, failing to yield, etc. There wouldn’t be old people cluelessly driving about if the license meant safety.

Registration is about collecting money.

I can buy a car and drive it on private property with no license, never having it registered, nor paying the taxes on it.

That only happens if you want to drive it on public roads.

streets. Unlicensed people can drive unregistered vehicles on private land and the Gov cant say anything.

Unlicensed people can shoot unregistered guns on private property and the Gov cant say anything. I am fine with concealed carry being a permit/license. But anything else doesnt involve the public.

Yet when cops have to shoot a black person that does horrendous s**t like this that’s the real problem. So sad and it’s infuriating people can’t see the real problems......or better yet just choose to ignore them and place blame elsewhere.

Is she going to slam the entire population of the US for being “overwhelmingly white” as well?
