.......First, are all the people wanting to fly their cars, going to have to get a pilot license? Because once the car leaves the ground (which has to operate under laws set by the government) becomes an airplane, (which operates under rules set by the government through the FAA). If a license isn't required, who is going to control the traffic in the sky's as cars are crashing into each other above our heads?... And if a car falls out of the sky and damages our homes or businesses, because whoever is driving the airplane/car has no experience in flying, will they have to have liability insurance and how much will that cost?... If a pilot license is required, who can afford that, that isn't rich?....
Funny, he thinks that the government should not have any interference in our lives, but I disagree.... Cars flying over my head by people that have no clue how to fly is asking for many dead people, damaged houses, and lots of court suits.....
But it is Delusional Don that is proposing this.... so, there is that!!!

(9,895 posts)Why are those same questions / logic NOT applied to possession and ownership of firearms?
I do not want to take away people's guns (not going to ever happen in this s-hole country anyway) ... but I DO want them to be financially responsible for the consequences of their weapon being potentially used in a shooting or crime.
If I must register, license and insure my vroom vroom, the you should have to do the same for your boom boom.
