Want a chuckle? With a few grains of truth.

Post by AlanM »

There's an on going thread on the UtahConcealedCarry.com forum titled If cars were regulated like guns that is somewhat tongue in cheek but will make you think also.

Some of the analogies might actually cause a gun grabber's head to explode.

In any case it's an entertaining read for the weekend.

Here's a taste (the first few lines of the first post):
I keep hearing the anti's making comments implying that cars and driving are heavily regulated, and guns aren't. Without even getting into the right vs. privilege argument, I wonder if any of them have any idea how many prior restraint gun laws there are. They probably do, and they just don't care.

Anyway, here is my flawed set of rebuttal analogies for the clueless grabbers: What if cars were as highly regulated as guns?

1. You would have to be 21 years old to get a driver's license. You can drive on private property all you want until then. In Utah you can drive at 18, but only if there's no gasoline in your tank.

2. Any automobile manufactured after 1986 and capable of going over 55 MPH would cost 20 times what a speed limited car costs, and takes 6 months to get government approval to purchase. The same rules apply to other auto accessories like mufflers. If you put a muffler on your car or modify it to go over 55 MPH, you get a trip to Club Fed. Unless you have a Class III auto manufacturing license, but those are virtually impossible to get except for the military or police.

3. If you plan any interstate driving trips, make sure you carefully research the laws in every state you're passing through. Some states won't accept your state's driver's license and won't grant licenses to anyone but residents of their state. Some states don't allow driving on public roads unless you are rich or politically connected.

Got this link from the original post in the forum Alan referenced. The e-book can be downloaded free. I downloaded it in Adobe (PDF) format. It will be a great reference regarding gun control and 2nd Amendment rights.

Thanks, Alan - your post resulted in a great find for me that I can share with relatives.
