Yeah I often point at driver’s licenses when gun stuff comes up. Way more people need to drive than need a gun, but getting a license to drive a car is pretty tightly regulated.
If cars had been a thing when the bill of rights was written, we might have an amendment that read like “travel being necessary for the well being of the state, the right to drive vehicles shall not be infringed”. We’d then have absolutely pants on head stupid rules around cars. No licensing, no testing, no safety regulations. People would be driving tanks around. Cars would pollute even more. And people would frenzy themselves up with “but it’s my right!!!”

Getting a gun requires background checks. Buying ammo requires an ID for age verification. You can bypass the system, but that applies to cars too.
Summed up sovereign citizens pretty clearly there.
Yeah, but even with all that regulation we still have stupidly giant SUVs killing kids.
