Minnesota lawmaker proposes bill to require license for gun owners
Sen. John Marty, (DFL) Roseville, told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS his proposed bill which would require gun owners to have a license would, in the long run, help save lives.

Under Marty’s proposed bill, anyone purchasing a gun at a commercial business, gun shows or through individual sales, would have to acquire a license which would require gun safety education and training similar to what people have to do when they obtain a driver’s license.

“It seems to me that it is no more of a burden on lawful gun owners than driver’s licenses are a lawful burden on drivers,” said Marty.

The right to drive an automobile shall not be infringed. Isn’t that what it states?

Or is it the right to be an idiot shall not be infringed? I can never remember.

Marty told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS he is trying to target juveniles and young adults whom he said often have an easy path toward buying guns.

“For young people, the 15-year-olds who can easily access guns now and commit armed carjackings and murders and other things, you know, they would have to go through training and they would have to go through a process to do this,” said Marty. “And, we would have limits so that some of these 16-year-olds couldn’t go out and buy guns.”

I'm wondering, have they considered sending the perpetrators to prison?

Sounds like Marty is willing to train and arm 15 -16 y.o. kids with handguns.

That would be unenlightened and racist. :roll:

“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”

I think this applies to the legislature...
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the outcome of the vote.

Well ya, as long as they are car jacking safely and have paid the requisite government fees... what is the problem? It is just another form of correcting the income inequality after all.

Uhh, since minors CANNOT legally buy guns at all

... and since you currently have to have a license with training requirements to legally carry publicly

... and since underage gang members give zero ******* about illegal possession and carrying

... and since the above is apparently zero obstacle to committing car jacking, armed robbery and attempted murder

... then to me this looks like social reform via "make it illegaler".

There you go trying to use logic again. We need to do something. It does not matter if it will work or not. It is for the children you know!
