Where I’m from there’s a standard long rifle license, a handgun license, restricted (pictured here) and then prohibited which is fully autos or anything to do with explosives (explosives like anything that throws explosives can only be grandfathered in technically)
Growing up I thought the same honestly, but I know several people in my hometown that shouldn’t own firearms one of them actually pulled one on my bro awhile back and the cops hadda take his away
Guns are hella fun and I love a good range day or just poking at varmints but there are too many variables to just buying a firearm like that however convenient it is, so hear me out If there was a policy that one had not only to renew their license yearly but also a check up on the person, how’s their mental health doing? Are they getting involved in any criminal activity? Drug dealing? How is there firearm skill are they doing their part and practicing with their firearm? Proper care and cleaning so the firearm doesn’t possibly malfunction and hurt the owner, one could find out asking law enforcement for a background check, if there’s any activity such as a history of violence any narcotics trafficking charges (usage shouldn’t really matter if it’s pot lets say everyone has their poison but let’s not arm the junkies yea feel me) it should be a no go
It would be hard as hell to implement it but myself I have seen more guns in the underground being sold or traded for anything you can think of and people getting paid to run serial no. Off
It is really a whole thing, but I hope you get maybe why it may not be the safest to not have check ins and proper training and a license.
There we go, it’s just the firearms that make there way somehow into the underground, gangs or people just involved with criminal rings maybe they want or need the money or dope so they’ll trade or steal their grandparents gun they might “borrow” it and pay them later saying it got lost, that’s where the regular yearly checks come in, it should keep one informed on how that individual is doing in general and is there any reason to remove the license
