I'll repeat my crackpot idea from another post. Guns should be licensed like driving. If you can't complete a stupid test to show your knowledge of the use, maintenance, and safety issues of a gun, you shouldn't have one.
And let us hope the government doesn't decide to turn on us, because I just don't have that much faith in you guys with guns. Two words: Bombers and Tanks.
And no, I wouldn't feel safer if you gys had bombers and tanks. You DEFINITELY need a license for them, preferably one involving a field test and constant renewal.
