Actually he said this in the article:

"In those days, hopeful immigrants had to study and be tested to prove they knew enough about this country, and it's founding, history and government, to be qualified to contribute to it's greatness."

The truth is, immigrants wanting to gain citizenship are still tested on history and government. My husband was naturalized about 2 years ago, and there is a 150 question study review that covers basic civics (branches of government, number of members in House and Senate, Amendments, Qualifications for office, etc.) and history (previous Presidents, their accomplishments, etc.)

I'm sure most here at FR could pass the test, but I am also sure, that the majority of your "man on the street" average American could not.

How many questions did they ask on the Right to Bear Arms?
