What, exactly, would you have us do to &quot;regulate cars like guns&quot;?  What safety features are missing from them?  How many accidents can be traced to a lack of inspections or the like (a few, I grant you).<p>Can you make a case for insurance requirements?  Seeing as how we shoot billions of rounds per year with few incidents, and only 600 accidental deaths per year.  Guns are <i>much</i> easier to use safely than automobiles, and the 25% decrease in fatal accidents during a period in which the population and number of guns increased by roughly 50% indicates there&#x27;s not a crying need here.  We gun owners do, you know, teach gun safety and proficiency, that&#x27;s what the NRA was about until the mid-&#x27;70s, when they couldn&#x27;t ignore the political threat.<p>Most of the rest exists, e.g. taxation (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Pittman%E2%80%93Robertson_Federal_Aid_in_Wildlife_Restoration_Act" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Pittman%E2%80%93Robertson_Fede...</a>), or is a non-starter in an environment where the people proposing these measures continuously demonstrate their bad will.<p>Registration?  Sure, go ahead if you want a 2nd Civil War, we know our 20th Century history.  Never again are not empty words to us.
