Not at all. I mentioned earlier in this thread that I sure feel better knowing those around me have been vetted as capable of handling their vehicles in a safe and responsible manner. Believe me, I have spent a considerable amount of time in countries where that is not the case and, trust me, we do not want that.
My issue is with things like "implied consent" in exchange for that license. That, and things like having to consent to random, unannounced searches of one's home and premises - with no warrant - to secure higher classes of FFL. There are many other situations under which we give up rights in exchange for privileges, or permission to do things or own certain things. Therein lies my beef...
