The whole argument is that firearms ownership should be treated as a privilege, not a right. Once one gets down to details, their analogy fails to demonstrate the utility for them to make that argument.
We used to be able to say such a form of argumentation was akin to “shooting yourself in the foot,” but perhaps that would be uncivil to mention in this context.

That’s an old post, but still applicable. However, his one line:
“I can import cars as many as a I want, from any country that I want, and I can sell or trade any or all of them to anyone I want — and the Federal Government doesn’t have word one to say about the matter.”
Is actually not true. If the car has not been certified to pass crash tests, you cannot import it. There’s LOTS of cars out there that people would love to bring into the US to drive, but cannot. Even Bill Gates had to get rid of one of his Porsche supercars because it was not certified.

There’s some pollution testing requirements; with a “once per person” exemption. A guy I know imported a Peugeot 504 diesel station wagon and had to take that to do it. (Complicated foreign tax reasons).
Prior to Daimler deciding to officially sell in the US, the “grey market” Smarts were technically imported under individual exemptions as well, though I am not sure of the details.
