No. But, if we are going to allow guns in our society, I want everyone who has one to have passed a thorough class and passed a comprehensive test on gun safety and usage. Further, I want anyone who later demonstrates failure to exercise the lessons taught in those classes to be charged with criminal negligence and lose their right to own a gun.
This asshole had to take a test to get a license to drive, but the most he likely had to do to get a deadly weapon is swear that he’s not currently using drugs, and show that he hasn’t been convicted nor currently being charged with certain violent crimes.
