“Is it unconstitutional to require tests before driving?”

Apples and oranges.

Driving is a privilege. Voting is a right. Just like owning guns.

Would you like to have a literacy test for buying a gun? Like maybe California can have you list how many genders there are before you can buy a gun. Or maybe they’ll have you explain why Marxism is so much better than capitalism.

Yah, sorry. We do not condition rights on government prequalifications.

That’s why they are called “rights”

If voting were an unconditional right, then we allow infants, toddlers, and young children to vote. Voting is a privilege. This is precisely the matter that should be discussed and defined. Good grief. More than half of the citizens do not know the difference between a right and a privilege. You are a prime candidate for a basic civics test.

The Bill of Rights is explicit in stating gun ownership as a right that “shall not be infringed.” Even there the public has agreed to restrictions from one state to another, however arbitrary they may be.
