    people who fail to prove themselves capable of safelt owning a gun

    a minimum you should be able to prove you can safely own it and use it.

    We used to have those kinds of laws. They were called Jim Crow laws.

    Also, that’s called a poll tax, and it’s still considered racist today.

    But of course, that’s what gun control is, isn’t it? Racism with some good PR behind it.

        Theres an argument. Hell, requiring ID, like a drivers license, to vote is considered racist.

          That’s not what I’m getting at. Motor vehicles, being a dangerous tool that can lead to deaths, they require a level of training to safely operate.

          Is it racist to require people to have drivers licenses to drive? Is it racist to take then away when people prove themselves incapable of operating them safely?
