    There are licences, classes, examinations, registration, age requirements and permits required to actually use the car though.

    Also, cars have a viable purpose beyond being a weapon. Why are we trying to equate something whose main purpose is to transport but can be used as a weapon with something whose main purpose is to end life? If an object’s sole or main purpose is to cause physical harm, it should obviously be regulated more heavily than objects whose main purpose is not to harm, but can be used as a weapon in certain circumstances.

      To use the car on publicly-owned roads.

      I’m just clarifying why “treat them like cars” is a terrible argument.
