"Nobody gets upset at the fact that you must pass a driver's exam to drive a vehicle. At least I've not met someone who does."

Yes, you have. I just don't drone on about it. I taught my kids to drive by letting them buy their own vehicles from their own wages at about ~10yo and driving them around themselves the cat trails on my acreage . They didn't need a license to drive their own rigs on private property, and experience is the best teacher. By the time they needed to get a license to drive on public roads, they knew what mistakes to not make at highway speeds from making them at ten miles an hour on the crappiest roads anyone ever drove on.

Also, plenty of folks drive around today without licenses. Until they get caught, which crappy drivers often do. You don't need a license to drive, and that's a fact.

There are plenty of things you mentioned in this post I vehemently disagree with, but Imma check myself, because I'm not competent to think for you. You do that just fine. I just think you're unaware of data that would dramatically alter your perspective, particularly regarding firearms ownership. If you take a look at data regarding how often firearms are used to prevent crimes, the paltry number of accidents and actual crimes committed with firearms pales to insignificance. They're far more beneficial in the hands of ordinary folks than they are harmful in the hands of villains.

More to the point, just as I discussed regarding driving, you need no license to possess weapons, and more importantly yet, this:

Bad actors aren't going to obey gun laws, because they're intent on committing crimes already, so making it more difficult for everyone to possess guns only provides them more helpless victims to harm, because folks intent on abiding by laws will.

Fear is my best friend. IME, almost every mistake I've ever made was a direct result of lack of fear. Fools and angels, so on, so forth. Just because we're not afraid does not make us safe.
