So in lieu of having any sort of standard of safety or compentency for licensed gun owners, you'd do away with standards altogether so that no one is regulated? Based on your reply to what I wrote, that's the best that I can paraphrase it. That seems awful irresponsible (which is my main point anyway) - did I misunderstand? Are the areas of regulation that I proposed acceptable or not?
