"No one thinks that it takes away our right to own cars." That is because YOU DON'T have a right to own a car. The government could ban all cars tomorrow and you would have no Constitutional protection. Now if enough Americans were upset you could amend the Constitution to make the right to own and drive a car a right.
"Suppose one had to pay a two hundred dollar tax per year on each handgun you owned." What would that accomplish other than be punitive. Should the poor be denied access to effective methods of self defense?
"Suppose also you had to carry liability and personal injury insurance on each firearm as well." Why should insurance be mandatory? If you feel you have a valid claim sue the person.
