That is where the evaluation part I mentioned comes in...
To stupid = No gun
To crazy = No gun
ect...

Not really. This thread is so chock-full of tired and illogical arguments (as well as a fair helping of fail and aids) that I've decided to intervene, piss off everyone, and get it closed.
I would rather just not talk to you
So what kind of gun is good for general home defense? In Maine I can shoot trespassers if they enter my home.
We use test to determine who can drive. It should be possible to do the same with licensed gun owners. Basic written test and be able to pass a hands on test.
doesn't matter, you posted. welcome back!Not really. This thread is so chock-full of tired and illogical arguments (as well as a fair helping of fail and aids) that I've decided to intervene, piss off everyone, and get it closed.

That isn't what he said.
He said that stupid and or crazy people should not be allowed to own a firearm.
Who should determine that, and how?

It would be determined by people too stupid to get jobs at the dmv or as airport screeners.
Are you not posting because you don't want the appearance of slacking at a job fly helped you get, and when you get home it's more important to spend time with the wife and kids?Or it would be done by some blanket testing system which would be designed to either:
1) Allow everyone to pass it, regardless of their actual level of intelligence. Don't believe me? Look at how easy the driver's exam is, and the intelligence of people who routinely operate a motor vehicle, devices that (regardless of how you try to rationalize their intended purpose) are just as deadly as firearms..
2) What is more likely is that it would be intentionally designed to be so extremely difficult that only a small number of people could actually pass it. Which would effectively be a gun ban all on its own.
No, I really want to hear you're detailed explanation of how you think the American people should be "graded" in order to own and operate a firearm, and who should be doing that grading.
You made your initial statement, now back it up. Don't pussy out.

is that a yes or a no? or a "I'm not posting because I'm jacking off, dumbass"
