I have seen people talk about how if people are required to carry insurance on their car, maybe we should require an insurance policy for gun owners.

There could even be a national pool to pay victims of accidental shootings if the shooter is unknown or uninsured.

I think a training class with recurrent training should be required before a person can buy a weapon.

And yes I have weapons and a carry permit.

I just turned 67 y/o and received my training in the US Army, including 2 yrs in combat in Vietnam. I've carried a weapon for 40+ years since.
Who would you suggest train me? Who is qualified enough to determine whether I should be permitted to carry a weapon?

Evidently you're fine with the government stealing your rights and then selling them back to you in the way of "permits".

You are an outlier Reb. How bout the young person who buys a pistol and doesn't know the first thing about them?

The government purchased an entire new healthcare system without knowing the first thing about it. We're just following in their footsteps.

An Atlanta attorney who says he accidentally shot and killed his wife last month was charged some 25 years ago with firing a gun at a car containing three teens in DeKalb County.

A grand jury indicted Claud “Tex” McIver but prosecutors declined to pursue the 1990 case after the parties settled it privately, according to court records obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. No one was injured in the incident. But afterward McIver was charged with three counts of aggravated assault, possession of a firearm in connection with a crime, and criminal damage to property.
