"As i merely agree, and that we should license gun owners just like
car drivers before they can be allowed to purchase ammunition."

And when there is either no longer a second amendment or an amendment that states "the right of the people to keep and bear fine automobiles shall not be abridged" I'll agree with you.

"Comprehensive licensing, and restricting of the priviledge to those
who keep to the terms of the license has worked rather well with
cars. It can work with guns."

Gun ownership is a *right* not a priviledge. Car operation is a *priviledge* not a right. If you wish to make ownership of firearms no longer a right, I suggest you get cracking at amending the Constitution.

"Bottom line, to end gun crime:

End the drugs war"

No disagreement whatsoever on this one. In fact, I'd say that's the number one contributor to gun crime.

"End civil lawsuit protections from gun makers for wrongful death claims."

Not that I have a huge love of the gun industry (I find some of them reprehensible) but this makes no sense. I make a product that is functional and won't blow up in your hand. You go and take said product and shoot someone with it. Instead of suing the shooter, the manufacturer gets sued?

If so can we sue car manufacturers for DUI deaths? What about the mines who mined the metal to make the car?
