What do you want to do. Create some kind of draconian class system where only high class people can own cars, guns, and have children? Who decides who is worthy? How is it enforced? Where do individual rights begin and state control end?

Not high class people, just people who are found to be capable and mentally sound through rigorous screening. Such screening would obviously be handled by dedicated departments of the government.

State control begins where it is called for by issues within society.

And think about what would happen if people DIDN'T need a lincese to drive? Do you honestly believe there would then be a lower road toll?

I think you jumped in the middle of a discussion and may have missed the context. I wasn't really talking about license. I'm not even against gun licensing. I was arguing against another user who believes the average person is too stupid and irresponsible to own a gun and used cars as an example of a average person's even more dangerous weapon. I'm against elitism and oppression.
