That takes us back to Auto the Orphaned Right. Autos were absolutely protected, could not register, license drivers, require insurance, impede speed or even install a bloody stop sign.

They lost their absolute right because the Constitution allows the government to write laws to protect the public. It took about forty years, but cars were finally brought under control in every state. We haven’t even started on guns yet, so at least forty years of a Vietnam every year.

There was no obstacle to automobile regulation comparable to the second amendment. The protections for automobiles were common law principles which are inherently subject to revision as new cases come up.
