Agreed, but the current "solutions" end up regulating me as well as the crazies. I recall many of the folks calling for "reasonable" gun control that will also negatively affect lawful gun owners were losing their collective minds some years ago over the PATRIOT Act, which was aimed at stopping insane scumbags planning to kill civilians with gun and bombs and airplanes but also had a possibility that a small number of non-terror-connected people might lose some of their privacy rights. My how things have changed...or not.

Next time you get in your car look around.
Do you have a driver's license? Mandatory personal training and periodic qualification

I don't recall having to undergo any periodic requalification or training after getting my civilian driver's license several decades ago. Regardless, since driving isn't a Constitutionally-protected right, let's compare apples to apples--which other right from the BOR requires personal training and periodic qualification?

Licence and registration? annual licensing and registration of vehicle

Primarily for tax purposes, since here in CO you don't even need to get an inspection to complete your annual registration--you just have to send in your money. What does that have to do with safety?

Minimum insurance? you are responsible for the damage by you and or your car

So are you saying I'm not responsible for any damage or harm I inflict with my firearms? Woohoo! Reckless neighborhood shooting spree here I come!

Auto emission check? vehicle serviceability and safety check

As stated above, that's a state or local requirement. Even different counties here in CO have different requirements for auto emissions. No federal regulations apply.

One way sign? restrictions on where cars can and cannot go

Again, are you implying there aren't any current restrictions on where I can take or use my guns? Are you sure about that? Really?

Toll booths? limited access

Federal property? GFSZA of 1990? Any business that posts a "no concealed carry" sign?

Speed limit signs? restrictions on how cars can be used

20,000 local, state and federal gun laws restricting how I can use my guns, where and how I can carry them, what guns I can and can't own...

Taxes on gasoline? pays for roads

Gun range and/or club fees to pay for the maintenance of the places where I use my guns.

Highway Patrol and other types of police? Random and ever present enforcement of existing regulations covering drivers and vehicles at state, county, community levels

Highway patrol and other types of police enforcing the existing regulations covering gun owners and guns at state, county and community levels, except just like with auto accidents they are rarely at the exact right time and place to prevent an event; rather, they deal with the aftermath of an event.

Meter maids fair use of temporary storage

Locker fees at my gun club for the fair use of temporary storage.

Seat belt? mandatory driver safety equipment

Built-in keyed action locks, magazine safeties, loaded chamber indicators, grip safeties, firing pin safety blocks, decockers--manufacturer design changes to address safety concerns.

Highway emergency call boxes (not so much anymore but) in place services and recognition that driving is inherently dangerous

Range safety regulations, gun laws addressing where one can shoot, range requirements for eye and hearing protection use, age restrictions on who can purchase firearms and ammunition, mandatory hunter safety classes to obtain a hunting license.

National Highway Safety Board, Department of Transportation? Federal regulation

BATFE, FBI, local/state law enforcement, NFA of 1934, GCA of 1968, FOPA of 1986, GFSZA of 1990, Brady Bill of 1993, AWB of 1994.

Formula One racers? we're not allowed to drive anything we want

NFA of 1934, GCA of 1968, FOPA of 1986--I can't own or use any gun I want.

Need more?

Nope; how 'bout you?
