    You’re high. I can buy a sports car without having a driver’s license (there is no regulation on purchase). Same sports car has no built in restriction on speed.

      Sure, if you want to drive it on your own property and do whatever the fuck you want, which will (probably) not affect anyone else.

      You want to take it on the road, where your odds of affecting others drastically increases, you have to follow regulations.

        And when you purchase a firearm, and want to carry it loaded on your body out of the store, you have to follow regulations as well.

          Not in my state I don’t. Perfectly legal for me to conceal carry a non-registered firearm without a license or any certification.

            You’re missing the point. You can’t just wave it around, it has to be secured in it’s holster, unless the situation calls for you to use it. If you’re a felon, you can’t carry in any capacity, nor even own one.

      In my state, it’s illegal to drive a car off the lot until it’s insured in your name. I’m sure there’s ways around it with private sales, but it’s honestly pretty analogous.

        Right, so you tow your new vehicle from the dealer, bypassing that requirement.

      You’re going to need a pile of cash to buy that sports car, because no dealer or bank is going to lend you the money without a driver’s license AND insurance. The dealer won’t even let you off the lot without insurance when you’re signing in some places.

        No shit Sherlock. Point being is, if you have the cash, you can do it.

        Doesn’t change the fact that there are no top speed regulators on cars. There is nowhere in the US where it’s ok to drive 100+ mph on public roads. Guess what #1 cause of traffic fatalities is?
