A ban by any other name

Bob R put this in the comments to this post:
Requiring a "license" _is_ a ban. A license is legally defined as: permission to do that which is otherwise unlawful. If you have to have a license to own a gun then it must be unlawful to own a gun. In other words: guns are banned, but for some period of time we'll issue a license.

Interesting way to put it. And he's right.
