See owning a gun IS a right, driving is NOT a right.
And complain all you want about the DMV here, try it is CA where you make an appointment in order to get in line and waiit 4 hours. Seriously, if you don't have an appointment to get in line you are not allowed in the line.
I grew up here and I am very familiar with the DMV.

Perhaps we should check the contract, since you seem to be unfamiliar with the concept of un-enumerated rights:
Amendment#9:
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Amendment #10:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
The Constitution is not a list of rights. It is a list of prohibitions against government, with a few specific examples of our most important rights that government is specifically forbidden from messing with. EVERY power not specifically delegated to government is retained as a right of the people.
