Correct! You have to pass a test and demonstrate you are proficient (not that much different to when you get a driver's license). Pretty similar to obtaining a driving license.
Well except you stated that for you , it would just be “standing in line for a few minutes, checking your driving record , asked a few questions and bang you are out of there,
Post 2580:
“BTW, no! I have NEVER had to stand in line 2 hours at the DMV. Even when I didn't get an appointment, I have never had to wait even an hour. But usually 10 to 15 minutes including the waiting time... Once at the desk, it's pretty quick: they check my record, my eye-sight, a few questions... .in and out...”
Gee that doesn’t sound like you took a competency test , a mental health exam , had fingerprints , all the things you want for gun owner licenses.
So admit it. You lied saying your licensing would be like the dmv.
The poster I originally responded to appeared to believe that standing in line would be the hardest part. But if you think the testing part is too difficult for you, you shouldn't waste your time standing in line.... You'd just be making the line longer for RESPONSIBLE and KNOWLEDGEABLE gun owners.
Gun banners gotta lie.
I was that poster. And I pointed out that “ just GOING” to the dmv was a hardship for many people .
Then on top of that you are talking about having to take firearms courses, get mental examinations , certification/competency.
This is why people shouldn’t listen to gun control advocates who say lies like “ we just want” reasonable gun regulations”
You are lying. You simply want to” Jim Crow” style regulations that you can use to discourage and prevent responsible and knowledgeable gun owners from being able to exercise their constitutional rights.
