Counter point: if you don’t do it, someone else might do it for you, stealing your identity, filing fake returns or unemployment etc.

Huh? I can go almost anywhere in the world and wave my phone at a register and take whatever I want home. Without a bank Id have to carry a lot of everywhere.

In this case a neutral effect is better than a negative one. Preventative legislation on something that is a foregone conclusion is relevant. These guns already exist, and printers are getting better. At some point someone will use one to kill someone. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to get out ahead of it. Is this bill it? I don’t know.

Those Negative effects are not large burdens.

Yes I read it. It’s not gone through any review yet and is simply written to piggy back on an existing system. The Drone community went through the same thing worth FAA licensing.

I disagree that it conveys the same point unless your point is that criminals don’t follow laws, so why have laws. Cars are very regulated. You also can’t sneak a car through a metal detector in your pocket and run individuals over indoors. Completely different threats, with completely different availability.

This bill was just introduced, there’s little detail yet on how this could be accomplished.

No? Where did you get that from? Maybe if they’ve lost their license for DUI’s or something.

The ability to break the law isn’t an argument for not having the law. My point is only that using cars can be used as a weapon is a terrible example. Cars are far far more regulated than guns, and you can’t sneak a car in through a medal detector into a school, airport, etc and start running people over with it inside. I’m not even attempting to justify the background check.

If you buy private sure, but I’m not sure how liability works then. Typically medical insurance will refuse to cover vehicle related injuries, so if you or someone else is injured while operating their car on your own property you may be SOL.

At the end of the day you need insurance to drive it on the road.

You can’t buy a car in most states without insurance. You can’t get insurance without a license. You cannot get a license… and so on. So that’s not a good example.

I’m not making excuses, I’m explaining how it’s complex and isn’t something you can’t snap your fingers and resolve. If you want to start a movement to change it, I’m not going to stand in your way. It doesn’t matter to me either way.

Digital is a completely different paradigm. If an online library has unlimited copies of a book, why would anyone buy it? New books won’t be written is no one pays for them.

inside each country. For example is there a different VAT in Paris than Cannes?
