How about this....gun ownership is a RIGHT under the constitution. Voting is not a constitutional right. Yet we want to apply standards to secure what is rightful under the constitution while we cannot apply standards for voting which is not.

I think one should have to pass a basic civics, economic and literacy test before voting. Of course that has been outlawed. I don’t believe one should have to pass any “test” besides not being a felon, to have a firearm. Apparently that will become the norm now.

What other God given right would you deny felons who have paid their debt to society?

I don’t believe one should have to pass any “test” besides not being a felon, to have a baseball bat.

I don’t believe one should have to pass any “test” besides not being a felon, to have a knife.

I don’t believe one should have to pass any “test” besides not being a felon, to have a car.

I don’t believe one should have to pass any “test” besides not being a felon, to have a can of gasoline and a book of matches.

How many of those do you agree with?
