Thanks to Rudy's GUN CONTROL?
"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 theyre intelligent enough and
responsible enough to handle a gun. Should both
handgun and rifle owners be licensed...were
talking about all dangerous weapons."
