(18,483 posts)-misuse leads to suspension, much like DL. Though the analogy of licensing guns and cars is a somewhat flawed comparison it is one of the best we have.
-forfeiture for willful misuse seems consistent with current views on disqualified persons
-I would make broad categories for gun types rather than each individual firearm. Mostly a revolver is a revolver, a bolt action is the same... Safety training could have expiration dates so a new purchase after x years since training requires a retake of that course
-I think we have the laws re: child safety, they are just ridiculously variable in enforcement. The safety around minors should be part of the training, laws enforced and the suspension/forfeiture above invoked when a minor gets access to a gun
-I do not know if the training needs to be annual, but it should be reinforced through the school years. I do not see why it cannot be incorporated into fire and home safety already taught. We only need to teach how to avoid accident and injury, not create marksmen
