36. Let me address that.

1. Fine, let's make it a national license, good for 6 years, no renewal fees, good for all states.

2. Background check is fine, but no on the mental health check, no on the references from family, friends or employers.

3. Safety test is ok by me, but not for every gun you own.

4. Why is it ok to carry a firearm in the military at age 18 but not in civilian live? No on that one too.

5. I don't mind liability insurance, it would be dirt cheap anyway.

6. On the fence about that one, but waiting periods? No, we already have instant check, that's good enough.

7. On the fence on that one, but I could live with it if instituted.

8. NO. I'm wholly in favor of citizens being able to carry concealed if they so choose and are eligible by law.

9. I can live that.

10. Most of that is already law, but no serious relicensing process, if cleared, they should be returned forthwith with no strings attached.

Most of you know that a license is no big deal. Besides a driver’s license you need a license to fish, rent scuba equipment, operate a boat, or many other activities. I realize these differ by state, but that is not a reason to let anyone without a bit of sense pack a semiautomatic weapon in public, on the roads, and in schools. I think we need to make it much harder for some people to have guns.

Here's where you make your mistake by trying to compare a firearm license to a driver's license etc., owning a firearm is a right, not a privilege.
