See post 18.
And I’d disagree on your critique of the analogy, for it it is as you say, then the anti-gun left could then pass laws allowing everyone to buy a gun, but make it illegal to use a gun.
And that would pass your muster in the critique. I’d say that’d be just as constitutionally wrong as banning guns itself.
What’s to disagree with? I’m not for restricting cars, either. There are no restrictions at all on car sales, only on driving them on public roads.
Your analogy that it’s OK to restrict gun sales by mandating training because you need a license to drive on a public road is a bit of a non-sequitor.
It is not possible to pass an enforcable law that mandates the purchase of any private product. That is what will unseat the health care “reform” law in the end. The exercise of rights are a choice, not a mandate. If you don’t want to use yours then don’t, but anyone who tries to take them from someone else because they don’t use theirs should be executed.
