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.

It's not RIGHTS that are "clearly enumerated" but powers/functions of the federal government. We DO NOT get our rights from the government. The Bill of Rights do not grant anything. Rather, they RESTRICT the government from limiting, or infringing against what the framers saw as unalienable rights. They are meant to PROTECT us from an overreaching government. Sadly, they have not been as effective as hoped since the government has worked diligently to "get around them."
