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.


And some 36,000 killed by gunfire, Pretty ****ing pitiful.

I like graph #6 and graph #7 here.

Hardly a shocking revelation that countrys with more guns have more gun
deaths.

Some suspicious omissions tho, particularly the USA and Israel.
