I'll double down on her bet...I think we should license the right to reproduce and vote.

and vote.

They have already began this with the photo ID law. It will be expanded on later.

Your voter ID card, which does not have your picture on it, also works when you go to vote.

Hmmmm ... THAT'S not a bad idea!!

Exactly!! And just because a individual has the time and money to sit thru a 8 hour class, put 20 rounds on paper at 10 yards, and pass a background check, doesn't mean that they SHOULD be qualified to carry a gun in public with the possibility of having the decision of whether or not to use that firearm in a public setting. I want and wish everybody would excersise thier right of this great nation, and this great state to carry a firearm. But I also want everybody that DOES carry to fully understand, the responsibility not only for themseles, but everybody around them, that they are inheriting when they carry into a public setting.. and unfortuntely, the minimal requirements to be met to recieve a handgun license, doesnt create or educate that mindset responsibility.

Thank you.

I, too, believe that carrying a gun is a RIGHT, not a privilege, but having the right to carry comes with great responsibility. If that responsibility can't or won't be met for any reason, then you become an irresponsible gun owner. That makes you a danger to those around you. I have two dead friends, and know of several accidental shootings where both parties (the shooter and the shootee) got lucky and no one died.

While certainly fun to shoot and play games (USPSA, Steel Challenges, 3-Guns and Appleseed Shoots) they are certainly not toys.
