Yeah....but you seem to overlook the fact that every state registers cars and licenses drivers. And as far as I know they all require them to carry insurance against their potential stupidity.
Maybe we could agree that guns should be treated the same as cars? I'd settle for that, Chas.
Would you?
I am happy to discuss rational proposals that address real problems.
Having liability insurance is a reasonable requirement. I'm not sure every state requires it for motor vehicles - I know that was not true some years ago.
Many states have licensing with various requirements - it's not uniform. I live in a state with quite strict licensing for firearm possession. However, possession is not the same as carrying a firearm in public.
Registration of a firearm that is carried in public is not a terrible idea. It's like registering a vehicle that's driven on public roads.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
