No tests involved. How is that more difficult than getting a driver's licence?

Oh, and I also have to go back in every few years to get a new picture taken for my driver's licence. You can renew your licence once without a new picture and then you are required to go in person.

Getting a license at the BMV is definitely harder than buying a gun, at least in Indiana.

Remind me again which is a constitutional right...

The same people who want tough restrictions on purchases are the same people who cry like little girls at the thought of showing an ID to vote.

I don't want guns to be banned, but I would like for it to be harder to buy a gun than to get a driver's license. Does that really sound crazy?
I believe that when you recieve your driver license they should give you a free gun
