Gun Control & RKBA

(27,787 posts)Its a great idea.
I propose former military, Law Enforcement, and civilian firearms experts.
Together, they define a system to ensure that gun owners, all of them, pass some form of background check, and training for the kinds of weapons that they would like to own.
It would be similar to a driver's license. Start with a learner's permit. Then a basic license. If I want to drive commercial dump trucks, I need to get training and pass a test. Same for 18 wheelers. I want to own a semi automatic weapon, no problem, take the class, pass the test, get the license.
Its a simple model. And experts of the type I mention could set it up.
Shooting ranges could become training and license centers. Great source of income for the owner of the shooting range and the trainers, good for the economy too.
And we end up more gun owners who are trained on how to handle and maintain their weapons safely! They can brag about how they've just obtained the next level license.
You want to own a bazooka ... no problem ... get the right license and its all yours.
