This "licensing" requirement, and "club membership", and "safety test" sounds WAY too much like how the Aussies and English got their foot in the door for eventual confiscation.
The anti-gunners might have been able to get away with this crap here, before the internet, but they can't now. We know what happened to the English and the Aussies once they "compromised" on licensing, testing, etc.... And gun owners are not going to allow that to happen here.
We are winning the battle at the state level, and don't need to start compromising now.
And my proposal for fostering a gun culture and open discussion of gun ownership directly counteracts the likelihood that government would ever be able to gather support because more people would own guns, and anti-gun legislators would remain in the minority.
