so youre saying a gun and the car should be treated the same
so every person who owns a gun should have to buy insurance in case someone is injured by his gun
a person who owns a gun should have to take license renewals every few years and if he fails his right to operate a gun will be suspended until they can prove they are competent.
if you are caught using a gun while under the influence then before you can use that gun again you will have to blow into a device to prove you have no alcohol in your system before a round enters the chamber
