The NRA likens licensing, etc restrictive and against the spirit of the 2nd Admentment.
Americans have the "right" to own cars - but the government sets restrictions on how it can be driven, the necessary requirements to drive, and the necessary financial reserve needed in case of an accident (aka Insurance)
Actually, california rick, I can purchase a vehicle, have it delivered to my property, and as long as I keep it on my own property I can drive it most any way I please; I can do so without a license or any other permission, and do not have to obtain insurance to do so. Happy motoring!;-)
Yours,
