But at least driving to and from LAX is reasonably safe because law enforcement can do something to protect us from dangerous operators of motor vehicles. Background checks on driving records are conducted and even some basic knowledge of safety is required to operate a car. Auto manufacturers don't mind, and traffic safety is not a partisan issue. But don't even think of extending motor vehicle laws to the gun and 150 rounds of ammo a driver may be carrying in the trunk of the car. Politicians who want to survive know not to go there.
