it's about a reasonable expectation of proficiency with the weapon. I agree that owning a firearm is a fundamental right, but it's not unlimited, nor should it be. A firearm, in the hands of an untrained or unstable person, is extremely dangerous. So is operating a motor vehicle. we require that people who wish to drive pass some basic safety and proficiency tests. it's not unreasonable to expect the same for owning firearms. Like it or not, there are some people who should not be allowed to own a firearm.
