I am not denying it is that way if you read what I wrote. I stated it is not in our long term interest to allow this concept of privilege to continue. We will be worse off for it. We will be forced to give up many liberties simply to function in a 21st century society.
You describe the very method of putting in place all the things that the consbreastution prohibits. It's done by going around the consbreastution with loopholes such as these. If you want to get from A to B by any means than on foot, you'll have to give up other rights. And walking, I am sure that there are various trespbutting, vagrancy, etc laws that can be used if need be.
And there are due process rights to take away one's ability to own a firearm. But by defining driving as a privilege, the state can make you make monkey noises or anything else it wants you to do in granting that privilege. It can also change the rules and requirements later. Don't want sumbit say to having a transponder in your license sometime in the future? well, sorry, you can't drive anymore. It's a privilege, not a right.
