You are guaranteed the freedom of association. Just how do you facilitate meeting with people without a vehicle?

How did they prior to the automobile? Please reference the dictionary entry or court cases that establish association as being necessitated by an automobile.

So it's your take that modern convenience could be denied to say, Conservatives, or Catholics on a whim?  My my...  You do live in one warped little world don't you.

First you suggest we can all ride horse and buggies.  Now you're demanding a dictionary (of all things), or a court case ruling to back up people's rights to use roads.

Well, how did they do it before the automobile?  Dang.  You sure have a strange way of loolking at freedoms.

Is gun ownership a privilege?

No, it is a right specifically called out in the 2nd amendment. Please reference the driving amendment.

I told you we were guaranteed freedom of association.  We are not limited to the associations we can accomplish only within walking distance.  Work, meetings, political gatherings, religious gatherings, are all covered in this freedom of association.  A state cannot simply say, "You're black, you can't drive a car.", "You're a Catholic, you can't drive a car.", "You're a Republican, you can't drive a car."  You didn't know this?  Really?  I have to prove this to you?

Is free speech a privilege?

No, it is a right specifically called out in the 1st amendment. Please reference the driving amendment.

See above.

Traveling by our vehicles is a right, that can be limited or taken away. It is not a privilege. The state cannot deny you the right to drive, if you prove you can drive safely, know, and abide by the rules.


Driving is not a constitutional right. You get your drivers license based on the skills you have and the rules you agree to follow. After you get your driving license you must continue to demonstrate your ability to drive safely on the road.

Driving is a Constitutional right.  See above.

Sadly, you can't join automobiles to freedom of association. Try and exercise your "right" without being granted the privilege and you'll find yourself in jail.
