Require people who want to buy a gun to have a gun license.
You can own a gun in US without license, but drive a car without. The license should require a short theoretical, practical and legal test. License owners should be 21 (legal for drinking age), must not have a criminal record, must show that they are able to handle and clean a gun without shooting them self in their foot or eye, and must file a simple theoretical test, to check that they know the basic safety requirements like "always store the ammunition in a safe".
- jauer 14y agoThat's politically and historically a non-starter. Guns are protected in the same category as free speech. Driving, drinking, etc are not.
- nthj 14y ago> You can own a gun in US without license, but drive a car without. Man, if I had a dollar for every time I heard this argument. I can park an Aston Martin in my back yard and not have a license for anything. I can be 3 years old or have 25 DUIs or be as mentally ill as all get out. I might have to pay property taxes in some states. But other than that I'm home free. I need a license to DRIVE the car on PUBLICLY owned roads. You're suggesting a license to park a gun in my backyard. I don't really want to argue over whether or not we should do what you suggested. I just want people to stop using drivers licences as examples. It's not a 1-1.
