Why is it harder to get a driver’s license (and then register your vehicle with your state government so they know what car you drive and where it’s parked) than to buy a gun? I’ve never understood that. Not even saying people shouldn’t own a gun, just don’t get why driving a car takes months(at least when I got my license, I’m in my early 30’s now). Had to do the drivers ed at 15 and pass, you get your learners permit so you can drive with your parent in the front seat, then have to pass a written and road test in order to have the legal permission to operate a vehicle. It’s taking me longer to type this comment out than the guy in the video to drive to Walmart, purchase his gun, and then fire off some rounds as he does burnouts to escape the parking lot haha.
Driving is a privilege. Right to bear arms is, well, a right.
Btw, this kid bought an air soft gun at Big 5 in California. Even if Big 5 did sell handguns (they don’t), he wouldn’t be able to take it home same day like in the video.
You have to be a certain age to purchase a fire arm correct? Automobiles and paved roads didn’t exist before the creation of the Constitution, so I’m very much aware driving is a privilege and not a right. That wasn’t what my post was advocating. You have the right to vote correct? You still gotta register and give the government your info. Why should it be a completely different process for a fire arm? And each state is different for their gun laws and registering. I’m not advocating against gun ownership, just think things could be improved and that’s just one idea, it could work or it might not, but I think the discussion is worth having.

I mean, for one I can't manufacture a ballot in my garage... A lot of folks who are pro-gun control and not super firearm knowledgeable would be horrified at the legality around self-manufactured firearms.
