And this is where the attempt to draw and analogy between firearms ownership and vehicle ownership...

Yes, we register cars and license drivers IF they drive on public thoroughfares! If one does not, then there is no legal requirement to either register the vehicle nor license the driver.

But you're not advocating a registration and licensing for firearms owners under a similar manner are you?

Like Oneshooter, I also have a a license which includes a rigorous background check - and as part of that, I am now permitted to legally carry a firearm in my home state of Texas, as well as in the 32 additional states which honor that permit....if I wished, I could obtain a Utah non-resident permit which would increase that number to 35 additional states (Washington, Ohio, and West Virginia).
