    Comparing it to cars just makes it even more obvious. You need a license to drive one. If your eyesight is too bad, they won’t let you drivr. Your doctor can advise against you driving for many reasons and your license gets revoked.

      The only reason I did is because people always reply, “well cars are deadly too and nobody is trying to ban THEM.” And my point is, cars are not designed to be deadly, in fact, they’re designed with safety features specifically to avoid that happening. Yes they get misused by people who are drunk or going too fast and not paying attention - so why would you give someone who could carelessly turn a non-deadly object into a deadly one, access to a GUN???
