That's a far cry from the claim that he wants to get guns out of peoples' hands. I passed my written test for my driver's test.
No, really, I did. :)
I just spent a couple minutes finding one quote. I am sure you could find more. His anti-gun credentials have been earned over a long period of time. The point about this quote is that his 'gun test' raises huge red flage in the pro-gun community. No administration is going to make the drivers liscense test so hard and/or expensive that even 1% of the people give up getting a drivers liscense, much less say 30%. Unlike cars, there is a minority out there who is so against guns they try to discourage people from owning them all together, and someone with their views is sometimes elected to power. If an anti-gun adminisation is given this tool gun ownership will plummet as many find the expense and/or difficulty of the test not worth it in order to buy a $200 tool.
And by the way, he is deceptive in his quote. A driver license is NOT necessary to buy a car or pickup truck delivered to your home and drive it around your property. There is not even a background check. Only if driven on public streets is passing a test necessary. For guns then, a parallel would be a test for concealed carry on public property, but no test for purchase or use (including concealed carry) on private property. So he pretends he just wants to make guns like cars but he really wants to make guns much more restricted than cars.
Let me guess, you are not a native Virginia, but a northeastern RINO white collar transplant.
