Going back to the car comparison, is it a violation of your rights that you have to have certain safety features on cars? Maybe. Is this less a violation of your rights than requiring certain safety features on a gun? Not in any way that I can tell.
I mean, as far as I can see, adding safety features like this would give less ammo, pun intended, to those who seek to ban guns. If a gun owner doesn't care about his or her own personal safety, or that of his or her family, certainly they should care about that.
I'm great with safety features. I thought I clearly said that in my post.
But we have to be very clear here. Does implementing safety features on guns, like having a high tech gun that requires an electronic bracelet or whatever be within a certain proximity to the gun, give our government the power to remove all guns that don't have that feature?
Which means every gun my parents own? Which means 99.99999% of every gun in the US?
I believe that certain cars in the US, if they fit the criteria of being antiques, are not subject to the same safety laws in regards to seatbelts or other features as currently produced cars are, am I correct?
We could do something like that.
