So to expand.
1. How you gonna do this? We don't seem to have accurate gun owner numbers but we can say that it's roughly 90 guns to every 100 people in the US. Will it be a written test? How long before the right answers end up on the internet? Will it be a one on one session? How long of a session is enough or multiple sessions? How many certified analysts will that take to have a reasonable expectation of covering people, you think the DMV is bad.
3. What's a disabled person? Do you mean mentally or physically? I'm assuming the former.
8. If your a target shooter you may have several guns, just as if your a baseball player (amateur or otherwise) you may have a few bats. Having an arsenal of 100s of guns is over the limit but where do you drawl it? Who decides what the limit is?
10. Of course you shouldn't start teaching a 5 year old firearms training but at what age is it appropriate? Since we know our brains don't get fully situated till our early twenties when is an ok age? We let you drive, smoke and vote at 18 and those are all deadly things. Perhaps then? But by then you can own your own gun? Wouldn't a little responsible training prior to ownership be a good thing? Like a permit with driving at 15 or 16?
Lot of gray in some of these, but I think it's a good discussion and worth having. I also think there will have to be a compromise.
