I'll ask again: we license people to drive, which entails training and knowlege of vehicular safety. Why don't we do so with guns? Every car on American soil since the advent of the VIN (vehicle identification number) has one, and is registered with both national and state-of-registration governments. Why don't we do the same with guns? (Yes, I've heard the argument about filing off serial numbers. It's easy for forensic techs to recover the serial even from a filed-down gun).
