How many? How many autos are never registered, and never used on public roads? So, requiring carry permits, or gun licensing for hunting on public lands, would be ok? Again, I'm not going to argue gun laws, I just detect a whiff of disingenuousness here. The number never registered is very small as most autos are not farm/ranch vehicles. I merely pointed out a flaw in your argument. If you really wanted to treat cars and guns the same then to buy a car you'd have a background check to make sure you have no moving violations, you'd have a five day waiting period before you could take the car home, you'd have attempts by local governments to limit the number of cars you could own or how you could could store them, you'd have attempts to ban sports cars (who needs that much speed?), you'd have attempts to hold the car owner responsible if a minor stole his car and used it to commit a crime, etc. While I do not approve of permits to own, possess or carry a firearm I have no problem with licenses to hunt.
