In some states they require you to pass a safety course, or hunting safety test in order to purchase an firearm. I think California put this in place years ago, but maybe this should be required nationwide. There would be no registration just that one has passed a basic safety test. I'm a firearm owner I think most firearms should be legal, but having worked in a gun store a few folks that came in bought a firearm really had no idea how to safely handing it.
yes just to show some knowledge however the test is extremely easy pure common sense along the lines of should you point the gun at someone with your finger on the trigger. Its also a money scam 25-35 bucks I forget how much exacty.
I think a basic safety course and test is a good idea. It has been many years since I got my LTC but I think nowadays in MA. a test is required. There is a hunter safety course which makes sense.
As for the second amendment The founding Fathers had no idea that #1 guns would be so plentiful in the future and #2 brains would not be.
Guns are lethal so people who want to own one should be schooled in the safe handling and storage of them. We make people take driving tests as a matter of public safety and owning a gun is just as serious as navigating a car.
The FEDs will do nothing to change the constitution. The only change will occur at the state level. Some will implement harder avenues to gun control than others, but it will happen.

Why would anyone think that. It would take the belief that predators, human or otherwise ceased to exist and that the entire population turned vegan. I would assume that the founders expected just what turned out a weapon in every family unit with a few maintainers of vast armories. Only the rapid reload of relatively lightweight weapons may have been unimaginable science fiction.
Study up a bit on the meaning of that word, in the context of the 2nd amendment, at the time it was written, and get back to me.
It doesn't mean what you think it does.
Also, in that sentence, what noun is being qualified by the adjective "regulated"?
People have argued over the exact meaning for years. Yes, the interpretation that has been accepted is that every US citizen can own and bear arms....but it's not exactly working out now is it?
To keep the status quo about a law that involves a technology that has change greatly over the last two hundred years is mind boggling.
Now I suggest you do a little research on the term " militia " See how many times that term has been modified since the 2nd Amendment was written. Also " arms ". If the 2nd Amendment was so unchangeable why are certain " arms " ILLEGAL for you to own?
