I mostly agree. But it is not easier than a car. I can buy a used car and register it without any background check. I do not have to be licensed to drive to own the car. I can buy a new car-No background check. I can buy a car that goes 200 mph. Nobody checks my record. Legally-Felons can buy cars. Not guns.

You do, indeed, have to be licensed to drive a car whether you own it or not. To get that license, you must pass written and driving tests and must maintain that license by renewing it yearly. Your car must be registered and licensed yearly and in most states (all now?) it must be annually inspected for proper performance. By law, your car must be minimally insured to at least protect others from your misuse of the vehicle or accidents.

Yeah, getting/owing a gun is considerably easier than a car.
