No, we don't need to license gun owners.
First….
--criminals will not get a license to own or carry a gun.
--mass shooters will happily get a license to own and carry guns…and then they will go to a gun free zone and murder people with them.
--there is no reason to license normal gun owners, current law covers everything a license would do, without creating the felony trap.
This is how it works.
--I am a law abiding person with no criminal convictions…
I buy a gun and carry it. I commit no crime and I don't shoot anyone….my whole life.
No license was needed for me to do this.
--I am a law abiding person with no criminal convictions….
I buy a gun and carry it and then use it to commit a crime, rape, robbery or murder…I am arrested. I can no longer own a gun….ever.
No license was needed to do that now.
--------------------
I am a criminal……
I buy an illegal gun and carry it. I am stopped buy the police for some reason and am caught with the gun…I can then be arrested since I cannot own or carry a gun.
No licensing of normal gun owners was needed to do this.
I am a criminal…..
I buy an illegal gun and carry it. I use it to commit rape, robbery and murder…and get caught… I can already be sent to jail for having the gun…besides all the other crimes I committed with the gun.
No licensing of normal gun owners was needed to do this…we can already do it under current law.
The only reason to license normal gun owners…
1) revenue
2) to put them in a position where if they do not register their guns, we can turn them into a criminal and take their legally owned guns, since they will not use their guns to commit crimes.
And we can arrest them anyway if they do commit a crime even if they do not have a license.
