So I guess this guy would also want an individual state to have the right to preempt all the other Rights conveyed by the First Ten Amendments as well. States willingly accept other states driver's licenses and driving is only a privilege not a right, but when it comes to the 2A they can restrict it? When the Constitution was ratified, no one had to have permission to carry a gun, and that should never have been allowed to change.

“driving is only a privilege not a right”

It would have been enumerated as one had the founding fathers conceived of government practically prohibiting travel without permission.

...and driving is only a privilege not a right...

One of the biggest shams foisted on the American people.

driving is only a privilege not a right

Not buying this one. I agree that it's OK to regulate the exercise, such as speed limits, no driving if you're blind as a bat and so on, but I think it's a right subject to responsible exercise, not a "privilege". It's that "all powers belong to the government till they dole them out" attitude that lets them tie your DL to completely unrelated stuff. Grades, child support, etc.
