Yeah, he's got a point. We could curb some gun crime and gun death by forbidding the cops from no knocking the living shit out of people.
As far as screening and adjudicating people for some sort of No Gun class beyond what we already have...I have trouble imagining what could be wrong about a person that would make it so they couldn't own a gun, but could drive a car. Just as one example. Or perform any number of jobs, as another. I doubt that the worst effects of such laws or regulations would have anything to do with guns. I strongly suspect that the most frequent use of any such system aimed at guns or at any other thing would be to defray and perhaps completely avoid corporate responsibility for malfeasance. When your unsafe work environment yields the inevitable, you get your now ex-employee popped with a No-Whatever license and then insist that this was a failure of the state, and not your company. Probably some use in nasty custody battles, too.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
