What is your point? How do you propose keeping guns out of the hands of people who obviously should not have them? If every citizen can legally obtain a gun (if qualified) how is a card system somehow a better form of tracking?
Apparently you didn’t see that my suggestion decouples the qualified individual from the purchase. Pre-qualifying individuals as being capable of purchasing a gun does not imply they actually own a gun. At the point of sale the verification process is greatly simplified and as secure a mechanism as we have today and does not require linking the gun to the owner in any database (which I think is what you are apposed too).
It bolsters our cause to keep guns out of the hands of as many criminals as possible. I personally would like to mandate training for new gun owners given the level of stupidity I’ve observed at various gun ranges. People who routinely violate standard safety protocols do as much if not more damage to our rights than criminals.
Liberals would have far fewer talking points if there weren’t so many cases of gun ignorance in the news.
We can do it by keeping the crazies in a mental institution, and the criminals in jail.
