What we do need is actual firm regulation and enforcement across the board. None of this "gunshow loophole" nonsense, no more of having them be less regulated than a fucking car. You have a tool that can kill people, it needs to be handled with respect and care for that eventuality.
The car comparison misconstrues what vehicle regulations are for. Registration is just a tax, thats all it was designed for. Inspection varies by locale, with some literally as simple as do your lights, horn, and wipes work?; plus no name is tied to it. The insurance requirement would be an interesting idea, but prior to databases, cops didnt know if you had insurance or not without pulling you over; guess who got penalized the most?
If what youre suggesting is that every time someone buys a firearm, they need to carry proof of personal liability insurance for accidental death or dismemberment, Im sure the government would probably go for that. In fact, the NRA already beat you to that idea.

Where money can be made, corporations will form to profit off of it. This isnt mandated currently, but the right is already pushing it through fear tactics.
No matter our origin, we are all one family, we all share one planet, and we all need to feel loved and accepted. We are more alike than different.
