    Licensing, testing, and insurance are the requirement to take a vehicle into public. You can operate a vehicle on private land with none of those things.

    The same is required for firearms in most states; minus insurance, though it’s highly recommended.

    We should be asking why certain people are deciding they want to hurt as many people as possible before they can be killed; not asking why they chose their particular method. The ownership of firearms is not a new concept in the US, but “going down in a blaze of glory” has been a somewhat recent phenomenon increasing at a terrifying and disturbing rate.

      I always find it amazing when people make the argument that we shouldn’t regulate something because all we really need to do is solve the fundamental problems in society that ever cause people to do the wrong thing. Thanks buddy I’ll get right on that

        It’s already heavily regulated. Most of the regulations people want are already in place, or an outright ban.

        When something that has been around for a long time with heavy regulation, but there’s a growing trend; then most likely it’s something else influencing the problem.

          Well when you assume any regulation of something is “heavy”, I suppose you could make that argument.
