[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4102825, member: 45785"] That is not strictly true. It is true that there is no right to own a car specified in the Constitution or Bill of Rights. But anyone with a driver's license can buy or rent a car or truck. And folks do daily do things that kill people with cars. Seems to me there are more fatalities involving automobiles than firearms. So licensing cars does not prevent car violence. Car manufacturers don't seem to get sued for the violence committed with cars, either. This only happens with firearms, which both are specifically listed as a right, and the listing contains very restrictive verbage: Shall Not Be Infringed. And nobody involved in our legal system seems to recognize or acknowledge those facts, either. Constitution & Bill of Rights doesn't specifically recognize a right to own wagons, horses, oxen, or other critters that can pull them or carry people around. Bet the Founding Fathers would have started another Revolution if someone suggested licensing them back then, but we don't seem to have a problem with it. That may even be the inflection point where the REAL United States of America died. And left us this stinking corpse... [/QUOTE]
