(1) in California, only people with a "owners license" should be allowed to own a motor vehicle. Owner's License requires a background check and a 15 day waiting period before you can take a motor vehicle home from a dealer.
(2) In addition, anyone convicted of drunk driving should permanently lose their right to own a motor vehicle and permanent revocation of their driver's license.

Not only will these two laws make the roads safer, but it will improve California's congestion problem. However, because California is a "sanctuary state", these laws do not apply to illegal immigrants. We don't want the Democrats to lose their voter base.

Incredibly, when penalties for drunk driving are made too onerous, jail sentences, loss of driving licenses, etc., juries will not convict as readily, and when that is noted, fewer plead guilty, preferring to roll the dice on a jury. So, courtrooms get clogged and convictions go down.

DMVs around the country claim that driving is a privilege, but they are the only ones. Everyone else believes that driving is a right, and if you mess with it, you lose elections.

This is how those loony socialists think, or more accurately, feel.

Felons are now prohibited from possessing firearms by law, so we need a new law prohibiting them from having firearms.

Why not just go round up the felons, and see if they gave a firearm, and if so, off to the clink? Instead, the courts will require the firearms to be surrendered, as if the judges are just sitting around trying to figure out something to do as it is. Before I retired and moved, the courts were so hopelessly bogged down, getting a default judgment entered took a year.

They have to be very careful. Most violent criminals vote Democrat, so they don't want to risk alienating them. The few Republicans know you can steal more with a briefcase than with a gun.

As Dr. Sowell put it in his column the other day, "Why anyone would think that criminals who disobey other laws, including laws against murder, would obey gun control laws is a mystery. A disarmed population makes crime a safer occupation and street violence a safer sport."
