[quote author=32393C3C293E3F3E35333B500 link=1645755503/0#7 date=1645821034]Here is a wonderful chance to have a conversation !
Because yes, Im sure there is no way that that conversation would turn into an argument. I will say only one thing
If we see fit to require a license to drive a car why not require a license to own a gun[/quote
First, no license required for Free Speech.
Or any other human rights. Travel is Natural. Using Common Means,, and the fact that we All pay for the road. It's everyone's road. Now, Untrained is not the same as Unlicensed. A license is permission from the state to do what would otherwise be illegal.

Accepting and defending what we were all taught, and, yes,once upon a time I agreed with you, but I started questioning things and digging around and managed to get out from under what I had been wrongly taught.
I don't have a temporary License that I have to pay for to carry around to prove I graduated. Why do I need to pay the state for a temporary license to drive a car? A Proof of Training card would be just fine. Unless someone can explain why not.
And, here's a thought...
We have Laws. If someone Does something and causes pain or loss in the lives of other people they can be held liable. Responsible people, people who don't want to pay fines or go to jail, operate in response ways. Texas is now open carry. I don't, because I have not gone and been trained. I'm not unfamiliar with guns,, at all. I have a few, I have worked on triggers, I'm a decent shot,, average.. But I have not been in a class and exposed to everything a concealed carry license requires.
Would that idea,that only licensed people can have a gun, would That change the bullets and blood score in Chicago?
Why work to create roadblocks for the law abiding?
