"We need to get to our jobs."

Call a taxi???

"Guns are said to be for "sport" mostly and the 1 in 5000 chance for self defense."

Regardless of the personal reason for speaking, owning a gun, attending a religious service, not self-incriminating, etc. these are RIGHTS; reasons are not required.

"And my 3 year old is unlikely to get into my car and kill me with it."

Since driving on a public highway is a privilege, your 3 year old isn't allowed to do that. You are bound (by law) to take precautions against that. If you're not a moron and taking equivalent precautions with your guns, the chance that your 3 year old will kill you are non-existent.

"Regulation and registration are not onerous requirements."

Regulation is not and we have plenty of those.
Registration is.

Expand your thinking.
