Cars are an interesting comparison. We have a thriving business devoted to teaching the novice driver and we demand evidence of proficiency in operation...and they aren't even designed to be lethal when used as intended, firearms per contra.

Very interesting. The first comment on this thread is applicable: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses....if they are not obsessed with the security of their citizens, I don't know any nation that is. This line in the article says it all: Put simply: Israel chooses to leave security to its professionals. (The use of the word "professional" is important, mho. It doesn't say "government" or "politicians," it says "professionals.")

Not being a gun user, but having close male relatives who are, can I just say: it would really be awesome if everyone who owned a gun in this country not just wanted but fervently desired to have a license requiring registration, training and testing. That really really would make me myself and I feel more secure in my person et. al. Sure, there would still be nuts with guns, like there are still some nuts driving cars. But less of them.

this is how we do it...

I stand corrected. I was quoting friend who took the Berkeley High team to state champs at point guard. ( parenthetically, she turned down the romantic advances of another talented point guard from neighboring Alameda High School named Kidd...bad move...)

That's street ball. You can earn a trip to the line in big league just by being a convincing actor. That mess doesn't fly on asphalt.

We'll give away lasers for free, so you wont need 2000 hours ( and 100,000 rounds fired) at the range before you can hope to hit what you are aiming at.

No blood, no foul (as articleman might say in the NBA context...) The window is always open, no questions asked, as long as we dont catch you first. ..

This could potentially work.

This could potentially work. Would you simply maintain an "open door" policy for selling guns to Uncle Sam and wait for the early violators to provide example for the hold-outs? 'Cause there's gonna be holdouts. We know this. There will be people burying guns.

In reply to 3. Ammo: one box is enough,

I think this is an interesting idea. It addresses the issue of home reloading. If you want factory ammo, you have to turn your brass back in. Maybe operate it through gun ranges since they already collect so much brass?

In reply to Mister Custer,

Wasn't it Jeff Foxworthy who said "if you need more than 12 rounds, you might be a drug dealer"? No? musta been my Auntie then...and she was always right about that sorta thing.
