Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather said Wednesday on CNN’s “Tonight” that it is common sense to have a similar process for getting a driver’s license or a gun.
When asked about gun legislation, Rather said, “Poll after poll shows a rather sizable majority of Americans in favor of having, say, a delay in when you can buy a gun, a three-day delay. You buy it, you pick it up two or three days later, together with background checks. This is very popular. But year after year, decade after decade, it doesn’t get put into law. What is needed is a common-sense approach. If you can get the politicians out of this, I’m convinced Americans of goodwill on various sides of this issue would get together with some common-sense things. You have to have a driver’s license to drive a car. You have to be trained in driving an automobile.”

Then you should also need a license and training to vote. Or to keep and bear pens/keyboards.

I can buy a car without a drivers license or any training. Then I can take said vehicle and do anything I want with it on private property.
What a maroon!!!

If we had common sense licensing and regulations for Commercial Speech for Compensation or Gain, we could eliminate the Fake News too

All those criminals they have loosed back on to society and the criminal illegals crossing the border will most surely show up for gun training just like they do for their parole and court dates. /sarc

...the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
It didn't say the right of the 'Militia', or the right of the 'military', it meant ordinary citizens.
Case closed.

There is no background check for buying a car. No age limit either. Felons can buy cars. We don’t ban sports cars or put speed limiting devices in cars because some people drive drunk or speed.
In that sense a Ferrari is like a fully automatic M60.
Are you sure you want to use the car analogy Mr. Rather?
To: ChicagoConservative27
He's correct about training, it even says so in the amendment: "well-regulated" meaning well equipped and well trained. But rights and responsbilities also require virtue and our society has lost its virtue. So it's no surprise we're about to lose our rights.

So we may then infer from Rather and his fellow travelers’s statements that they believe The Founders lacked common sense ...

The issue with mandatory training and licensing is those can be manipulated to ensure that none, or only the politically favored, pass the necessary training and license testing.
Several years ago the NRA sent, IIRC, ten individuals, all NRA firearms safety instructors, to the training and testing. None passed. The testing jurisdiction refused to allow them access to the results of their testing. If no one can pass, then no one can possess.
