Ted Nugent discusses the 2nd Amendment

I have a tuff time keeping my own gun in control.

Deady Tedly, the Motor City Mad Man. He rocks!

[isleta521 5]

Loved his music back in the day. Specially his early sht. Think he has a ranch near Taos NM and has a hunting guide outfit. Claims he never did drugs back in the 60/70's.

One cool dude

Rudy Giuliani on Gun Control:

I do not think the government should cut off the right to bear arms. My position for many years has been that just as a motorist must have a license, a gun owner should be required to have one as well. Anyone wanting to own a gun should have to pass a written exam that shows that they know how to use a gun, that they’re intelligent enough and responsible enough to handle a gun. Should both handgun and rifle owners be licensed...we’re talking about all dangerous weapons.

steven, you've fired a gun yourself. do you really think that a written test will show the appropriate level of competence here?

furthermore, just how is a written test supposed to grade intelligence and responsibility?

i disagree on the handgun and rifle owners being licensed and this test you speak of for the obvious reason that it's a slippery slope you're embarking on.

No sound but can just imagine Ted

We do it for driver's license.

We do it for driver's license.

But we do the written to show knowledge of the laws....not to demonstrate ability, dur. The demo of driving ability comes from the actual driving test.

So then you're ok with a written test for getting a gun license as long as it focuses on the knowledge of the law?

If -- and that's a big IF -- there were exams to pass in order to gain a license to own a firearm, then I could see there being a two-part exam (the same as it is with automobile licenses) testing knowledge and ability. The two are very different. Technically, I know how to fly an aircraft; however, I lack the actual ability and training to do so. So merely testing someone on their book knowledge for anything (guns, cars, airplanes, etc) that requires actual know-how to use, isn't a really good idea. There needs to be a practical examination as well.

so?

Really? I don't think the US driving test (Ok, Californian, as it's the only one I have done) demonstrates driving ability at all. You are not required to do anything other than drive forwards at the requisite speed. Not much of a test, in my opinion, particularly if you drive an automatic. At least a manual requires a little bit more ability and it's a little more tricky to use a cell phone when driving one

Well, every state handles it differently, I suppose. I can only speak for Texas, but I was required to do quite a bit. Parallel parking is very tough for a new driver.

What's unreasonable about requiring someone be knowledgeable about the proper use of the firearm they wish to own?

[Peikko 1,575]

I always liked parallel parking. Hill starts are fun in a manual too. Emergency stops, three point turns, reversing round a corner anyone?

Steven, it's not "unreasonable." What doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me is testing someone's "book knowledge" on something that's far more "practical" and "ability-oriented" such as using a gun. Maybe both would be useful, I don't know. However, I can't imagine just having a written exam.
