You don't need a background check to buy a car. You can go to a car dealer in the next state and drive off with your new car. You can buy a car from a resident of a different state. Do that with a gun, you are risking up to ten years in federal prison. You don't need to fill out federal forms with personal information to buy a car. There aren't specific classes of people barred from owning a car. You can be any age to buy a car. A minor doesn't need written permission for their parents to drive any car. A minor with a handgun violates federal law. You can park your car on school grounds or by a post office without violating federal or state law. does your car muffler require a tax stamp, fingerprint based background check, and registration with the feds?
On the federal level, are car dealers licensed by the feds? Are there specific security and inventory requirements that dealers must comply with? Are any infraction punishable by a decade in prison? Can the DoT go to your local Ford dealer and inspect their business records at anytime without a warrant? How about car manufacturers and importers? Is robbing a car dealership a federal crime like robbing a bank? Are car dealerships required by federal law to give any law enforcement access to their business records at any time?
Doesn't matter if I "whine" or not. It isn't about public safety, it is a culture war, just like pot was in the 1930s. Also, learn about current federal gun control laws. My link wall was a basic overview.
Also, what value is there in gun insurance? Other than huge profits for the insurance industry because they would never pay out. Gun accidents nationwide are very rare and they don't pay out for criminal offenses and suicides. Since most gun crimes are drug dealers shooting at each other, insurance doesn't matter. The premiums would be dirt cheap and guess who already has gun and self-defense insurance?
