Alan is not calling for the licensing of "firearms".
As anyone of reasonable intelligence can see from his remarks.

How to handle advanced weapons like machine guns, especially considering the 2nd should be incorporated under the 14th, is an interesting question.
Keyes put it in the context of the original intent of the Second which was to protect both the individual RKBA and the state militias from federal restrictions.

"Keyes said he supports a system in which guns would be treated similarly to automobiles, with people being required to undergo different levels of training before they would be allowed to own and carry various sorts of weapons."

yes dear... he does.

unless you are driving around without a license with an unlicensed automobile... in your state. In mine, you gotta have both... and it involves government testing and a lot more government intrusion than the second amendment allows for in "shall not be infringed."

take it up with the NRA or GOA lobbies. it's not a conservative policy...
