I'm not American, but I do understand the importance and reasoning behind the US 2nd Amendment. But I do have a question: Why don't you guys have gun regulations similarly to car regulations, since guns and cars can both be misused to become deadly weapons?
For example, if you want to buy a gun, you'll need to learn gun safety and gun law lessons, and then after the class you'll have a tester testing you on those knowledge. If you pass, you'll get a gun permit/license to buy and carry them. If you fail you'll need to relearn the lessons again and try next time. All tests are gov-funded.
It seems like common sense to me. What does Sup Forums think?
After a period of time (8-50 years or none) depending on each state you will renew the license so that you can refresh your knowledge on those topics and to keep up to date with the current laws and safety instructions. The renewal can actually be done online with online tests. If you fail you can still keep your already bought guns, but you can't buy more guns or carry them in public until you retry and pass the renewal.

To clarify: I think semi-auto gun and bump stock ban is stupid and doesn't work. I also think gun-free zone is stupid and doesn't work. But I think every person buying guns should pass gun safety and gun law test before he/she can buy guns. It's not just about school shootings, it's about so many incidents of lack of knowledge on gun safety and gun laws that lead to unfortunate deaths. It's like anyone can drive a car without taking any driving lessons or having a driver license test.
You can buy any car at any time for any purpose given you have the available funds. To drive one legally on publicly funded roads you need state licensing. I'm okay if I need a special license to carry a gun into publicly owned buildings, that would be logically consistent if not still absurd.

The test would be 100% facts about gun laws and gun safety instructions. And all studying materials and all satisfactory test scores will all be transparent 100% to the public.
>you are not eligible to take this test in the first place There is no where I said it. Unless that person already in terrorist list or mental records (which the current laws already prevent him from buying from the first place).
Very interesting point. But the reason why I propose testing gun laws and gun safety even for buying guns is because a gun is significantly cheaper than a car but is as deadly. So a person buying a car already committed significant amount of money to not fuck up and learn driving lessons, while a person buying a gun committed little in finance thus not having incentive to learn about gun safety and gun laws.
>No where I said that You don't understand the relationship the US population has with the government. Since inception, our government has been a necessary evil, created as a means to secure our national borders and provide security from Invaders, both financial and military. The government exists as an agency of the will of the governed, not the other way around

The amendments were written to give the citizens the right to organize a violent rebelion.
The memes dont like this and seek through their own means to restore the natural order, tyranny and oppression.
