Like registration, VINs or ID numbers, licensing for ownership? Annual license fees? Safety tests both for original license and then subsequent eye tests? How about required insurance for misuse?
You don’t need a license to own a car. Licenses are for driving on public roads. Likewise, you don’t need insurance on a vehicle unless you plan on driving it on public highways. I don’t believe that there is insurance available for “misuse,” at least not from my provider.
Wording is a little different but basically the same, you need to register your gun, take a safety course before you get your license. No annual fees or test I’ll give you that. And no insurance for misuse, that’s what the penal system is for.
Can you own and use a gun without following the rules of course you can. You can also own and operate a vehicle without registering it, having a license, taking any type of safety tests or insuring it.
And you’ll probably get in more trouble not following the rules for owning a gun than you will for not following the rules for owning a vehicle.
