1) Which other rights should require regular licensing and renewal at the whim of state and local legislators?

2) Which legal and medical standard are you going to use as the benchmark for your health care professionals to bless off on folks? Which conditions are disqualifying?

3) Do I need a different class for both my Springfield 9mm pistol vs my Glock?

4) Why am I responsible for the crimes of other people? What about neighbors? People in the same building?

5) Insurance doesn't cover criminal acts as it stands. What constitutes proof of appropriate storage? A receipt for a $6 cable lock or am I required to invite the police into my home to inspect regularly?

6) Not sure what purpose this serves...

7) Illegal on its face...

8) Why would I have to give up my right to self defense once I leave the boundaries of my home? If your goal is to prevent shootings then what makes you think that a dedicated shooter would follow such a restriction? How does this improve anything as opposed to making gun ownership more onerous for the vast vast vast majority of law abiding gun owners?

9) Why? What business is it of yours?

10) Do you have any concerns that this will prevent people from reaching out for needed help?
