Time for some new ideas for stopping school shootings. What's yours?

31. Gun owners need a license, regulate it like we do automobiles.

Gun owners need a License, regulate it like Drivers Licenses.


Each state to have a DFS(Division of Firearm Safety) just as big and as bossy as the state’s DMV (Division of Motor Vehicles).

To own a firearm you must have a license. To get the license you must jump through a few hoops. Background checks, complete a safety course, pass a written test, pass a proficiency test, and whatever else you all think needs to be added.

Yes all guns will need to be registered. Just like we do autos.

Additionally I would like to see a Licensee fee for every firearm owned. Say $100 a year per firearm. It could be a sliding fee: Less expensive for single shot less dangerous weapons, more expensive for more dangerous weapons. So the more weapons you own the more you’ll have to pay in license no fees. The money can go toward having trained POLICE full time on all campuses. Pay for CCTV. Whatever helps keep our schools safe. Your input welcome here.

I believe regulating firearms should be at least equal to how we regulate automobiles and driving.

Now I’m sure there will be bunches who will chime in and tell me how terrible this idea is. My reply is that our children are being slaughtered, drastic change is needed now. The status quo is not just shameful, it’s complicit in the slaughter.
