Why do we have a driver’s license? In the simplest terms it’s to prove that we qualify to drive a car and to designate that our car belongs on the road. When someone proves incompetent regarding their driving record, their license can be removed. They may still continue driving w/o a license, but the message is clear that they are doing so illegally.
It seems that current gun owners object to this idea for guns. Why is that the case other than the second amendment which is clearly outdated for the times? Although I’ve heard every reason from gun owners, the reality is that losing precious lives continues to grow and if it’s someone you know then the pain of loss continues. Have you lost someone to a gun and if so, how do you feel about tighter qualifications to own one? Likewise, if you haven’t lost someone to a gun, what is the issue with proper controls to address the potential loss of a precious life?
