Don't get me wrong, i'm still in strong favour of proper gun control. No-one needs automatic/semi-auto weapons, no-one needs more than a couple of personal weapons.
Going on your car parallel: it makes sense to have an intense training stage, it makes sense to licence people who want a firearm, it makes sense to make it mandatory for them to have a firearm insurance that gets paid out to victims if you are at fault in accidentally or unlawfully discharging your weapon. It makes sense to enforce the rules you already have with regards to felons owning weapons, with regards to them being unsecured around the house.
Stealing a car, joyriding, driving without insurance or a licence or while banned all gets you in the shit.
