Don't Tread on Me

Almost every adult American owns and drives a vehicle, a very important and expensive item to him or her. He registers it and has it inspected annually at the government's instruction, and he pays insurance on it as required by the government in many states. Moreover, he's satisfied that the same government doesn't allow him to drive a military-type tank down the streets. The negative effects of all of this on his ownership and driving is almost negligible. And yet some of these drivers scream and complain to high heaven that it's "governmental socialism and takeover" to be disallowed or at least discouraged from buying military-type firearms and/or registering them---and being required to buy health insurance even from private insurance companies. Go figure.
