I think the least we can do is regulate guns at least as much as we regulate cars, and I don't think that's too ridiculous, unless you're one of the libertarian types who thinks driver's licenses are impugning our god-given rights somehow

Right.

I mean, when a guy brought enough liquids onto a plane to create a bomb, what did we do? Did we oppose regulation because we should have the right to bring whatever liquids we want onto a plane? Nope! We regulated the shit out of it to prevent any more bombings!

Cars are also a dangerous responsibility and we intensely regulate it, require people to have a license plate for each vehicle they own, and also deny them the right to operate a car if they are too irresponsible to drive.

Why can't we apply this to guns? It's not like we don't have mountains of examples from other countries showing that it works. Switzerland itself is proof that tight gun control is effective and not necessarily anathema to owning guns.
