Big difference. Whats really the worst can happen if I cant use my phone properly. Also the 2nd amendment was written in the time of single shot rifles that took a couple of minutes to reload if you were really good. Also if you managed to hit a target beyond 20 yards you were pretty fucking lucky.gkbill wrote: ↑26 Oct 2023, 6:53pmHello,revbob wrote: ↑26 Oct 2023, 6:47pmCars didn't exist when the slave owners ruled the countrygkbill wrote: ↑26 Oct 2023, 5:36pmHello,Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Oct 2023, 12:53pmAnd the stupid thing is that it's sensible middle ground. It isn't calling to ban all guns, just demonstrating competence and responsibility. Yet resistance from the gun fetishists because what's driving the bus is the profit motive.

Dont want to take the tests you can have a water pistol or maybe a sling shot you can even have a knife but no not a real gun. Dont want to take the tests for a driver's license you're welcome to walk, bike, public transport etc
This can be blamed on our forefathers who made gun ownership a right - depending on your interpretation of the 2nd amendment. The gun industry and NRA have told the government how to interpret the 2nd amendment for us. Driving is not a right.
Neither were cell phones. Does this mean we can license cell phones? That'd be great - no cell phone for you , you flunked the cell phone test!
And relying on rules laid down by the ancients isn't always the best way for a modern society to function.
