Support basic competancy test for firearms ownership?

Can buy all the cars you like if you have the money. But you can't actually drive any of them without a license. So why not somethin gsimilar for firearms ownership? Wanna own a weapon fine, but you have to demonstrate basic competancy first. Safe handling, disassembly and cleaning, basic marksmenship.
Should we give voters a test?

No voter ID no stupid gun laws. Why should anyone be forced to prove they are worthy of a constitutional right.
With rights also comes responsibility.
That goes with out saying. You prove yourself unworthy,convicted felon your done.Otherwise we should be viewed as worthy,not how us, American citizens are viewed as a posable threat,that is fundamentaly wrong.
 
The side that makes deals is the side of anti-gun. You proposed a deal, that makes you anti-gun, you're helping incromentalism.


no pro gunner is proposing a deal

only how ===========
All carry permit holders I know, in several states had to take a course, pass it, pay a fee, and, renew it annually or bi-annually.

What I want is requirement that a)voters pass a rudimentary test on US history and government, and b) show they have skin in the game by proving they pay taxes(net payers, not sales taxes on food stamp purchases_.

I'll trade literacy and property requirements for a gun safety test any day.

only for concealed carry

no testing or licensing on mere ownership of firearms
Give them anything and they will come back for more.
Shall not be infringed is very clear.

concealed carry is nothing more then a piece of paper

it has nothing to do with what firearms you may own

out here open carry is perfectly legal
Here the fine for illegal carry is less than the permit fee.


--LOL

the permit here is 10 bucks good for 5 years
Here 100.00 initial first time 75.00 every five years
plus the cost of the class 60.00 to 150.00

Depends on the severity of felon and if intentionally harmed someone in the process of the act and at what age the person was.
Plenty of pot smokers at an early age who are felons in their 40's

In Comiefornia you have to demonstrate all you mention, sans live fire/cleaning, to accept possession of purchased weapon. Most who don't know how would ask anyway. Oh, and you have to take a test in Cal to obtain a gun card for purchases

Then if Californians accept such bullshit, then fuck 'em.

They deserve what they get.

It took 45 days from the time I did the paper work until the time the CHP was handed to me.
Some people are faster and some it takes a while

Indeed. Liberal work is evident here. Can't get anything through the 9th district courts either. I will admit though, there have been a couple of 2A wins the past year or so. Slowly peeling off the scab

As soon as we allow IQ tests or citizenship tests for voting.

Beat me to it...

So government should only represent & protect smart people? Enslave, imprison, tax or kill all the dumb ones, eh?

Not knowing a damn thing about politics doesnt necessarily mean you're stupid,it just means you don't care enough to educate yourself.
That alone should disqualify you.
Just how stupid do you have to be not to understand that?
 
I look forward to links on the data you've already read which lead you to that conclusion.

Well, look at any country that uses the licensing system, genius. Then look at their per capita gun-related death statistics.

Jesus wept....
So...no links then? Do you perhaps think that other countries even have a licensing system at all?
 
Pezz -

Choose a western country.

Find their rate of death by gun shot wound.

Find their rate of gun ownership.

Compare those with the US.

There's your answer.
