[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My gun is my business. How is your auto safety?  Car inspected lately?  Brakes OK?  That IS my business if my kid is going in a car with you. You the hosting parent should be offering me this info without me having to ask. [/quote]

[b]Cars are regulated. They require annual safety inspections.[/b] People can lose their license for being dangerous drivers. You have to pass a test and carry insurance.

If there was more oversight of who could own a gun and laws requiring proper storage and insurance, then I would have more confidence in gun owners. And if a parent wanted to ask about my driving record or safety features of my car I would be comfortable with that. I take being entrusted with the care of other people’s children seriously and do not mind answering questions.[/quote]

The car analogy does not work.

There are no safety checks, at least not in Maryland and I have never heard of annual safety inspections in DC or VA.  If someone is in an accident, they don't lose their license. How many DCUMers have been in accidents and not lost their licenses? [/quote]
