Cars need licenses and insurance. You have to pass a skills test to operate one. Cars are registered and the registration information is easily searchable by any law enforcement officer. There's a central database in every state of every car owned and every owner.

I hope this helps.

Because we already have "car control". We have license, registration, insurance requirements. We have traffic laws, safety laws, entire industries built around this. There's probationary licenses. There's required driving lesson hours. There's infinitely more regulations surrounding cars than there are guns.

And just like with guns we don't enforce any of those laws in the city.
