I think the government should have zero control over what type of weapons people possess. Christians have a biblically-founded duty to protect innocent life with firearms. However, the above meme, which appeared on Facebook is a bad argument.

Cars have an amazing bureaucracy surrounding them.  Maybe the biggest bureaucracy in human history. You have to license the car and the driver. You have to pay annual taxes on the car just because it exists. You have to buy insurance. The roads are owned and operated by government. For all intents and purposes, drivers have no Fourth Amendment protection. If you license it in a different state, you have to get the government to verify the VIN. Some states and localities require emissions testing.

If anything, I’d be a much happier libertarian if cars were treated like guns. We have much more freedom with guns than with cars. What right does the government have to do anything with cars that they do? It’s completely unConstitutional.

I’m all for memes that make a succinct point, but let’s think these things through before posting them.
