To me it makes sense to have someone take a gun test like they do a driving test. I had gun safety when I was younger. Believe my license still says something on the back to that effect as well. Looked and it indeed says firearm certificate. (FYI, I own zero guns) Makes sense to have some sort of training before you are given somethign that could harm others. A driver test and its insurance is not for you, it is for others on the road. But just like drivers tests and insurance, I don't beleive for a moment that this test would stop anything. People without licenses would still get themselves a gun, just as people have cars that aren't registered and they have licenses. A gun test doesn't magically guarantee that everyone with a gun has taken it. Hell everyone I know that owns a gun (hunters) has their firearm certificate like me. I'm gonna go on a limb and say most gun owners who commit crime/murder/ect do not have their certificate. This Vegas guy was millionaire. It doesn' take a millionaire to get a gun from teh black market. Do you really think anything could have stopped him from getting these guns? If there were limits on type or quanity or anything, he woudl just no longer do it the legal way and go illegal. |
The reason Congress doesn't say forget about vehicle regulations, is because not only would it make them look bad, like they don't care, but more importantly, all that gravy money is coming in, and they don't want to give that up.
The NRA see's the governments good intentions of enforcing vehicle regs to the best of their ability as time goes on, but they also see plenty of vehicle related injuries and death's, whether they be on purpose or an accident. What this leads to, is the NRA and guns owners end up saying to themselves, if that's the most likely outcome with guns as well, then screw giving a bunch of our money to the government for no reason.
Why doesn't the government just add more gun rules and regs regardless? Most likely because you don't want to push the gun owners over the edge, because they can easily defend themselves, using those guns. Another reason why it's important that the citizens have the right to bear arms and protect themselves, and not just physically.
