Please Regulate Guns Like Cars! :: 10/17/2015
There is a popular idea that we should regulate firearms the way we regulate automobiles. Really? Let’s see where that road leads. I wrote this for fun, but I was amazed at the ways we infringe on the right to bear arms. Tell me what you think if we regulated firearms the way we regulate cars.
- Because we now regulate guns like we regulate cars, each state and city now recognizes your drivers license license to carry concealed.
- We can finally buy and sell our cars firearms across state lines.
- We can walk into a gun showroom and drive away with our new firearm in minutes.
- We can rent a gun for the afternoon if our gun is in the shop.
- We can drive shoot all we want if we stay on private property.
- Now we can buy, own, and sell all the guns and ammunition we want, and we can store our equipment anywhere we have room.
- Several people can own and operate the same firearm.
- Because we now regulate guns like we regulate cars, there is no age limit to own a gun. Parents, grandparents and relatives can now freely give guns to small children. We simply mail in a piece of paper, and the state sends us a new title for our gun in a few weeks. That is sweet.
- The city provides gun-storage locations free of charge in front of no-gun zones in order to attract customers to downtown. About time.
- Courts will no longer take our cars guns away during a bitter divorce.
- We can rent a gun at the airport if we didn’t want to bring our guns with us on a trip.
- A gun dealership will lease us a firearm on a five year payment plan.
Would you buy a used gun from this man?
- Now we can ship and buy gun part in the mail.
- Now we can walk into the US post office with our gun or gun parts.
- Now that we regulate guns the way we regulate cars, even convicted felons can own a gun once they are off probation.
- We can now own a gun of any length without having to ask the government for permission.
- We can now put a muffler on our guns without having to ask our sheriff or police chief for permission. (Our neighbors appreciate it!)
- Our 16 year old can bring a gun to and from school and to his after school job.
- When our goofball nephew shoots a gun in public without a license.. he now gets a ticket.. and we get a phone call to come pick up our gun.
- We can have gun stores and shooting ranges next door to schools, daycare centers, hospitals and churches! Halleluiah we’re free at last!
- We will finally have gun shops on every other corner to sell ammunition and Doritos chips. Our local convenience store changes its name to Shoot-and-Scoot.
- Kids can get their concealed carry permit at 16 years of age.
- Schools now offer gun safety and defensive shooting classes when kids are 15 years old.
- Kids can carry concealed with adult supervision once they are 15 ½ years old and have taken their beginners shooting class.
- Some old people loose their concealed carry permit when they can’t pass the vision test.
- There are no more gun safe and gun lock regulations!
- We can build our own gun in our garage from a kit.
- We need a special firearms license if we want to operate a gun weighing more than 26 thousand pounds in public.
- Gun dealers and gunsmiths don’t need federal reporting requirements any longer.
- We decide who will be the designated concealed carrier before we go out drinking.
- We’d finally get rid of national gun registration.
- In some states, we might even get a tax credit if we buy a small and efficient gun. What a country!
Unfortunately, politicians like power more than we like freedom. That is why we won’t regulate guns like we regulate cars.
What do you think?
