Ain't necessarily so.

A automobile does not have to be registered if it is not
driven on public roads.

A driver does not have to be licensed if the driver does not
drive on public roads.

Thus an unlicensed driver can drive a full-blown race car which
violates no end of vehicle laws in a manner which violates no end
of traffic laws on private property.

I would prefer the automobile licensing approach.

Then I could own a fully automatic weapon and use it on private
property with the permission of the property owner.  As long as
I did not use it on public property or did not use it without the
land owner's consent, I would be OK.

Are you still sure you want to use the automobile licensing 
analogy?
