How about this idea: Every citizen, upon reaching the age of 18, is required to take a mandatory class, over 15 weeks, in all topics of firearms: history, operation, types, calibers, ammunition, safety, function, self-defense, firing range, reloading, etc....and during that mandatory class, anyone who appears to be mentally unstable gets cited by the instructors and undergoes further evaluation...that way, the libtards would HAVE to be exposed to firearms and HAVE to shoot them...and if a person passes the test, they get an ID card allowing them to buy anything short of a rocket-propelled grenade launcher...Thoughts??

I like your idea. I also like what the Swiss and Swedes do, i.e. universal military training and universal Militia membership, which includes keeping modern weapons and ammo at home in between annual retraining spells, when they shoot up all the old ammo and get issued a fresh can to take home.

In Switzerland, a visitor from National Geographic once observed decades ago, one gets used to seeing the very latest military weapon above the mantel, and above that, Dad's piece issued 30 years ago, and above that, Grandfather's old World War I Schmidt-Rubin turnbolt.

To me that is an infringement...afterall, 17 year olds shoot AT4s and Mk19s all day long in Afghanistan and Iraq.
