Many more people are killed by drunk drivers than by criminals using guns. Unlike guns, vehicles cannot be used to defend yourself from a drunk driver (the fact that you are in a vehicle actually makes it MORE likely that you will be killed by such a criminal).

So lets drop the bull about gun background checks and focus on vehicle background checks. There is no reason why a person who has a history of drug / alcohol abuse should be able to own a vehicle. Not to mention folks who have proven that they cannot control their anger. And let's also deny vehicles to anyone behind on their child support payments. It makes as much sense as denying them ownership of a gun.

If you want to loan your car to someone, just go to a licensed dealer and have them run a background check first. Should only take a few days at most.
