Is such a perfect solution, nope. But the NRA ideology won't allow for any discussion on this idea or any idea to limit guns in our society.
It's not only not a perfect solution, it's an INSANE solution. Your ideas only limit guns in the hands of law abiding citizens. Criminals and crazies don't care about your regulations. Therefore, your rules have the actual consequence of putting good people at a disadvantage when facing armed criminals! That's insane.
It's an idea...
A really bad idea.
However, it does not limit the law abiding citizens anymore than a driver's license limits ones operation of a motor vehicle. It would make those who refused to obtain the license a criminal and culpable for punishments. If you get caught driving without a license you get a ticket, if you get caught with a gun you get a ticket. Big deal. Both require tests to make sure the licensee has the ability to operate the car/gun safely and within the law
Fail. One does NOT have to obtain a driver's license to own a vehicle. One does NOT have to have a driver's license to operate a vehicle on their own property. Driver's licenses are issued by STATE governments (not the Feds) for operating on public roads. Similarly, most states require a license to carry a concealed firearm in public.
By your own analogy:
The Federal government should have NO place in licensing firearms
State governments should not be involved in the purchase of a firearm
State governments have no place regulating firearm ownership on someone's own property
But states are free to regulated firearms carried in public
Sounds good to me.
