(11,002 posts)I'm not against gun ownership.
I believe that if you want a gun, join the Guard (National or State).
Also that guns should be treated like vehicles.
If you want a gun you should obtain a license.
To get that license, you should prove proficiency with that weapon.
To be proficient, you should be trained, written tested and test with
actual use of the weapon in front of a licensed trained professional.
Just like cars, written test & driving test.
Last, but not least, you should have gun liability insurance, in case
you accidentally shot someone, you should brunt medical costs.
Or if you kill someone, some insurance for civil penalties and of
course jail if proven negligent in criminal cases.
Just like cars, when you register a car, you have to prove you have
insurance (here in California).
