12. Agreed. License gun carriers not guns.

Big rigs on the roads are legal, but you have to get a CDL to drive one and maintain your license status.

However, you can earn a living by getting your CDL training and therefore the expensive training course has a built in way to pay for it. The caveat for requiring gun handling training is that in no time at all you will find that the courses and costs basically make it a well to do white person's right as has happened in the past.

I'm all for different levels of gun carry-possession qualifications, but they HAVE to be affordable (both in time and money) and they have to be tightly restricted to prevent them from becoming defacto gun denial pathways. We already have a version of this now with regards to owning automatic weapons, etc.
