Don't license guns, license people to own them!

Wordslinger wrote:To legally drive a car you have to pass a driver's license exam. Why shouldn't we do the same for gun owners? Instead of trying to register zillions of guns, just license people who want to own them. If you violate a gun law, your license is revoked. Without a license, you can't legally buy a gun. Federal laws could be constructed so that the government couldn't manipulate the system.

The license test would include knowledge of firearms safety, firearms and the laws that pertain thereto (state and federal), and perhaps an actual session at a shooting range.

The main point is, you regulate people who have weapons, not weapons.

What do you think?

How well is that licensing thing going with driver's licenses? Nobody ever drives without one, right? Ever?

How will this stop CRIMINALS from accessing guns? It won't.

Absolutely! And while we are at it lets license people to vote. Have an IQ test to weed out the idiots and then have a small test on US history. You must score highly in both. Then have a rule that if you do not vote once every five years your license expires and you must retake everything to renew. Heck yeah!

Again, Voting Rights Act of 1965.

You win first prize for being illogical. Denying Americans the ability to vote is you right wing wacko's policy as we saw during the last election ... you remember back that far don't you? Remember? The one that Romney and Biden couldn't even win when a significant proportion of minorities (including those in Florida) had to wait in line for hours in order to cast their vote? Licensing people to vote in order to control or deny their vote is your bag, sweetheart, not mine!

There is no difference other than the right of gun ownership explicitly given in the Constitution. If you think we need a license to own a gun which is a big responsibilty then why equally shouldnt we be licensed to vote in this country? The license could double as an ID..you know , that thing which democrats abhor when going to the polls.

Actually I'm not. All you dumbasses took my post literally when I simply compared Wordslingers rediculous idea of licensing gun owners (which is another infringement) to that of licensing voters. You liberal fucksticks act as if voting rights are sacrosanct and gun rights are not. I happen to have the belief that none of those rights, voting, gun rights, freedom of speech etc should ever be infringed on. Honestly, the premise of the whole thread was fucked up when Wordslinger stated that" if you break a law as a gunowner your license is revoked"....seriously? Adam Lanza broke the law and at the end revoked his own "license". As did most of these mass killers, no touchy feely liberal gun law stops a criminal or mentally ill individual from carrying out their mission.
