Only to take it out in public

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.

Those convicted of domestic violence are already federally barred from firearms ownership.

*except in Vermont where they allow it for some reason, and the federal govt lets the state get away with that. Your guess is as good as mine.

I have an issue with psych evals: Ableism. Just because someone is depressed, has PTSD, has ADHD, whatever, doesn't mean they don't deserve the right to defend themselves. Furthermore it is currently federal law that if you are IVC'd under judge's orders (which does require proof, but it is imprisonment short term and removal of rights for life, there should be proof), you now get flagged in NICs and can't legally buy one, so at least we do have an acceptible version of this already.

Also I'd like to add, it would be a good .2sec before republicans add trans people to the no gun list because "41% suicide yadda yadda" and the democrat party will pass it because "gun bad." It'll get snuck in like they always do, "oh you want psych evals, 'no trans' or no deal." Then they'll have to choose between trans rights and the right to own the thing that can defend those rights from would be right wing attackers.

It is too easily weaponized against people already too stignatized, I don't like it personally.

The counter argument to that is that it negatively impacts lower class people who are unable to take time off work to go do those things, thus disproportionately hindering lower class and minority rights.

And the counter argument to that is that there should be enough safety nets in place to allow all people to be able to take time off work as needed.

That would have people really confused. "We have to raise minimum wage to allow everyone the right to bear arms"

In the US (which I'm assuming you're referring to, since the meme mentions the GOP), There is absolutely not a background check performed for every firearm purchase. That's one of many restrictions people reasonably want placed on guns. Only 17 states have a universal requirement for gun sales. The federal law "requiring" background checks only applies to federally licensed sales. Private sales, gun shows, etc. allow for sale of guns with no background check, and often bypass age restrictions as well.
