Driving a car is a privilege.

Bearing arms on the other hand is a right.

One can place reasonable restrictions on a right but one may not ban people from exercising it.

Liberal hoplophobes get irrationally scared by guns.

Hey, there are a lot things that can kill people.

“Driving a car is a privilege.”

If the founders could have known about travel using cars, trucks, etc, would be the normal mode of transportation in this day and age, I wonder if they would’ve made travel by such a right. They didn’t include travel by horseback or buggy as a right, but perhaps they never would’ve thought such could ever be threatened, just too crazy a concept; if you own a horse, you can use it for travel. I also wonder if they could’ve forseen road being paid for with tax dollars, if that would’ve added into their thinking one way or another. Seems the ‘privilege’ concept may have simply evolved as a form of bringing in revenue.
