Sneakylong Allow a 10 year old to drive a car?

If they can pass the test then why not? You just provided the answer as to why testing is virtually worthless. 10 year olds aren't allowed to drive because they are known by and large not to understand consequences of behavior and responsibility. Having said that, there are many 10 year olds that I would trust behind the wheel more so than many adults that are cleared to legally drive. Fatal accidents generally don't happen because of a lack of operator skill, but is much more likely because the operator is impaired, distracted, aggressive, or reckless.

      I think we've reached the bottom of the rabbit hole. lol Let's just leave it that we disagree completely. Which is ok. Again, appreciate the civil discussion / disagreement. Life goes on..............

          Comparing auto ownership/driving to firearm ownership is not really a comparison…Auto ownership/ Driving is a privilege granted by the State, thus the need for a license and insurance. Firearm ownership is a Right of a citizen affirmed by the Constitution. The Supreme Court has affirmed that Constitutional Rights are not subject to conditions - for example, poll tax, reading tests to vote, etc. also, many, if not all, State Constitutions also contain clauses affirming the Right to firearm ownership. There are rules and regulations around firearms, actually several thousand, but effectively there are 300 unique laws around firearms. What law would you propose that would have stopped/prevented the shooting in Kansas City, short of a ban????

            Typhoon This is what got you idiots all riled up 6 days ago? Find a hobby and grow up. 6 days ago…🙄

            Nope, it's all the BS that came after it. We all know where that stuff is meant to be discussed but some people are so arrogant that they feel their opinions must be forced on everybody. I'm actually in favor of some gun control, so it's not that I necessarily disagree with some of the postings, it's just not the place, you (not you) know it's not the place and you still want to ram your opinions down other people's throats, even after being warned (not by me I might add) that this was Water hazard material. It's the pure arrogance that gets me more than the actual topic.

              Make it illegal for anyone who has attended a Jerry Springer show to own a gun or vote. If you're a fan of Jerry Springer, but watch on TV, you can purchase a sling shot. Apologies in advance if I've offended any buzzers.

                Well, they probably just take the license you show up with and hand you a new one…No test involved…They just figure if you passed the test 60 years ago you’re still good…

                  Sneakylong We have the rule of law in this country.

                  We used to have the rule of law. That unfortunately ended on January 6th 2021.
                  There... not calling anyone out, not cussing anyone out, not directing my observation at any individuals. Just stating a fact. We lost the peaceful transfer of power. And it continues each and every day. Seems some are accepting of that.

                      I actually agree with you. Not in the same sense that you mean, but yeah.
