If a car is too dangerous to handle while drunk, it should go double for a gun. Same if I get caught carrying my gun while intoxicated. If I get caught driving drunk, even if no one is injured, I get fined and my permit gets suspended for limited time period. First off, no carrying while intoxicated. Now I have my gun permit and my registered gun and mandatory gun insurance, everything’s fine, right? Sure, but just as there are certain regulations I need to adhere to with a car, same goes for me and my shiny new gun. the gun goes off and blows out someone’s window, just to name a non-personal injury – the injured party knows the damage will be paid for. If I want to own and carry a gun, I need to have an insurance to make sure that if something happens – i.e. And let’s not forget: mandatory insurance. Before I can take the gun home with me, I need to show my gun permit, full identification, and then I need to register my newly acquired gun with the proper authorities. Then, a separate qualified licensed instructor takes me through a test where I have to show that I can use the gun safely without injuring myself or others. Meaning I have to pay a qualified, licensed instructor to put me through a certain number of hours on the shooting range. So I want to buy and carry a gun? First thing, I need a general gun permit.
So you’re equating guns to cars? Fine with me, but then we must carry it through all the way. And finally, you need mandatory car insurance so that, in case something happens, whatever damages are caused by your car are paid for. You have to register your vehicle and put license plates on it so that the authorities can always track your vehicle back to you. What do you have to do? Pay whatever amount you and the car dealer manage to agree on, naturally, but what else? You have to put down proper identification. And once you have passed that test, you are issued a driver’s license. Then you have to pass a driver’s test, given to you to by a different, qualified, licensed instructor. Cars are dangerous, lots of people are killed in car accidents, yet we keep putting out new cars.īut what exactly do you have to do before you’re allowed to drive around in a car?įirst off, you have to go through driver’s education, a certain number of hours studying under a qualified, licensed instructor. As the debate on gun control continues (though at a slower pace seeing as we haven’t had a massacre of school children in the last, oh, seven months?), one argument that pro-gun activists keep bringing up is that a lot of people are killed by cars, too, and yet no one has talked about outlawing cars, either. Guns don’t kill people, drunk drivers kill people!
