Is anyone arguing for banning all guns? Most people just want them to be regulated. Since you bring up cars, you know, cars are pretty heavily regulated. Your car has to be registered and you have to pay to re-register it every year, and have a smog inspection every two years. If you privately sell your car to another person, you have to transfer the title over with the state. You're required to have liability insurance in case of an accident. To drive (on public roads), you must get a license, which requires passing both a written and a physical test.

No one seems to think we're on the verge of banning cars, so why can't we discuss similar regulations for guns without people screaming about guns being banned?
Cars also have multiple uses/purposes. Guns exist to do one thing - inflict massive damage. The whole guns/cars thing, which I've heard many times before, would only be a viable comparison if we lived in some bizzaro world where we transported ourselves by some other means and used cars only as battering rams or to run over living things and kill them.
