The reason is because the right to bare arms is in our Constitution but the right to drive a car is not. This gives states the ability to make driving a car a "privilege" that they can license & tax you for, but they can't do the same with guns. Regardless if it seems dumb or not.
The best that can be done is certain guns can be outlawed or restricted and your right to have a gun can be removed if you are a felon but that's it. I personally think your right to own a gun should also be able to be removed if you have a mental illness history..
