Those are all irrelevant to guns. None of them are similar problems.

you can see no connection at all between driving licensing and gun licensing?

There is a connection, but also a major difference. Driving isn't a right provided by a constitutional amendment, it's a privilege.

And the constitution clearly calls for regulation, verbatim.
