There you go, you're onboard with the argument - it's merit and it's logic. Because hey, complexity is just so .... complex.

I know it confused ya, john. That's ok. If ever the conversation just involves you and me I'll dummy it down for ya.

good point. Cars don't kill people, nor do aircraft. So why do we need licenses for them?

To jump to the grand punchline of the whole cars, airplanes, guns theme of this thread is that people need licenses because people kill.

It would be funny to come up with some kind of homicide statistic for the prehistoric rock. How many people do you think were killed with rocks before the advent of the stone ax, Flint spear, and bow and arrow???

I'm not opposed to everyone being issued a license to carry a gun who demonstrates, as with a car or plane, the necessary skill to operate it.



I in fact have such a license.

Actually, provided we are not using the car for commerce, we don't need licenses.

I've got a loaded stone axe, flint spear and unloaded bow (they can't lay around loaded for some reason) strategically placed around my apartment as we speak. No cameras on them but I assure you they haven't taken any drugs the entire time. I'm sure they would have left tell-tale signs.

Gun control. I knew some didn't really fear it.

Drunk drivers don't kill people, collisions do.

Actually, no.  The constitution says that the government can regulate commerce.  This means that they have no right to regulate those traveling not involved in commerce.

I understand you're trying to make a "point." I encourage you (specifically) to drive without a license.
