I want even more than that. If you want a gun license, you should be forced to pay out of your own pocket for extensive training and safety classes. The license to own should be regulated and looked after similar to how drivers licenses are looked after.
I disagree with the idea that the guns themselves should be registered. Especially long guns. There is a good argument to make in regards to required registration for handguns and assault rifles though, and I would take a serious look at it.
Banning guns won't work. It is very similar to wanting to ban drugs. It simply doesn't work.
But education in regards to usage and safety does work.
Ironically, Scud loves to talk about how much education means, but when it comes to educating people about guns, he would rather just spout off more ignorance about a subject he clearly has no experience with.
