Cars are not guns and guns are not cars. Different rules apply. Not sure why people insist on treating them as equals.

Cars, hammers, guns.... they are all the same. Sporks too, a person who really cared could find a way to kill people with a spork....

If sporks are outlawed, only outlaws will have sporks.

Then why do people(not you specifically) keep saying we have to register cars and not guns? I am only bringing up the fact that some people WON'T separate the two.

I believe David is in favor or registering guns....

Cars are the gun freaks favorite strawman.... look at how many people they kill.... they should be banned.
But, that argument cuts both ways, as cars are registered and regulated in ways that guns are not. It's a piss poor argument, and has done nothing to further the cause of the gun owners.
How about periodic gun inspections? Just like a car? Bring it in and show that it remains in your possession, is in good working order, and has not had any illegal modifications??

Illegal modifications of a vehicle means you cannot operate it on public roads...would the same go for firearms?

Sure. As long as it remains a state issue. IE Pa has state inspections, Ga does not. A car registered in Ga is valid in Pa. Same as a drivers license. My DL is valid in any other state in the US, would the same apply to a CCW?
These discussions that I brought up are always the one that give most people the WELL IT'S DIFFERENT WITH GUNS response.

Why is it so different ? Both are machines the are heavily regulated. There are both federal and state guidelines that must be followed in there manufacturing. Illegally modified? Kind of a broad brush. If you reside in California you will break numerous laws by changing the air intake or exhaust on your car. Ga you would be hard pressed to find a early 90s pick up that HAS any of the pollution control devices on it. Which falls back to is this a state or federal issue? I have seen people hunt nutria in the swamps of Louisiana that use a ruger 10-22 with a 30 round magazine. The reason? The move quick and the next string of shots is needed. Especially when a bunch of them break loose.

I am bringing up points that if a elected official would say these are are the rules concerning guns fine. However it's when there is a knee jerk reaction to tragedy the rule of unintended conscience comes in to play.

I can't buy a decongestant without showing my ID because it can be made into meth. My current state has decided because ethanol is so good there will be a minimum of 10% added to the gas(which cuts the gas mileage of my old cars by 10-13%) so that the corn farmers out in the mid west can make a profit on corn.

Ok rant over.

Happy new year. Time for pork and sauerkraut.
