Topic	As a truck driver I'm required to pass a physical every 2 yrs (gun control)
Zeus 02/18/18 1:31:59 AM #20:	Far-Queue posted... Dumb argument. Kinda describing this whole topic. This is probably the most ridiculous case of apples and oranges ever. All of that testing is designed to assess the user's ABILITY to operate the vehicle effectively -- the equivalent would be like making sure that gun owners are reasonably good shots, which doesn't do anything to stem the issue. More importantly, however, driving a vehicle is NOT a constitutionally protected right. Even the insurance argument could likely be thrown out on the grounds that it violates the constitution by creating an undue burden, considering that voter ID laws are regularly rejected on the basis of imposing a much smaller cost to the user. SushiSquid posted... It's funny to me that the argument always seems to follow what we see in this topic. One side says we need common-sense gun law reform. The other said says you can't take their guns away, which makes no fucking sense. That's not realistic and it's stupid. Almost nobody is actually arguing taking guns away. Stop with this slippery slope bull shit. You've got cars, planes, chemicals, and all sorts of stuff that's highly regulated. We just made it safer for everyone by making that stuff harder to get. What doesn't make sense is continuing to advocate that nonsensical propaganda while denying the prevailing trend and writing it off as a "slippery slope" https://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Illustrated-Guide-To-Gun-Control.png --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:896294740] in As a truck...
