They do this for motor cars and other things besides.
For guns why not a sliding scale where the fee increases per gun for
each owned. And fingerprint and photograph the owners.

True. There's not even a requirement that a gun owner demonstrate that
he knows how to use (SAFELY use) the thing.

I wonder who many of those who are talking against guns and want gun
control,; have ever tried to buy a licensed gun, and gone through the
current back ground checks required for gun owner ship.

Odds are they only know what the media has told them.

There is a requirement to take a driver's test and a renewal every few
years, but look at all the accidents and around 30,000 killed each year
by cars.

It is true that while a background check is often required (or in some
states a concealed weapon permit), there is no check for being able to
even know which end of the gun to point at someone. Probably no where
as meany deaths by accident.
