There is a reason we don’t let five year olds drive cars.  We do let teenagers after they have passed tests and practiced using cars safely earn a license to drive.  There isn’t a lobby out there advocating to get rid of the license to drive and just let anybody do it.  Are there people who choose to operate cars without a license.  Sure.  Those people, when caught, are dealt with by law enforcement.  That’s the purpose of having laws and law enforcement.

Likewise, we need gun laws.  Period.  I don’t want to hear that criminals won’t honor those laws or that the laws punish the people who are law-abiding citizens.  If you need a license to drive a car, you should have a license to own a gun.  I’m not about taking away gun rights, but I am about protecting people.

It’s time for common sense.
