Okay, read the post now.
There are large sections of the population i wouldn't trust with a blunt knife, let alone a FireArm.
They would have to be reintroduced through the Schools with familiarisation events, the indoctrinated fear is at incredible levels.
Then training by the Military to mentally assess the candidate before a licence is issued.
It would take several generations to Safely arrive at a similar condition as say ,Texas.
Just my 4 pence ha’penny. :)

For the record ,i was a firearm owner. 22,357/38,44/429.

The lack of familiarity with firearms would have to be overcome since most(?) there no longer have a rudimentary understanding of firearms use and safety. Except what the see in the movies of course. Sorry sad state of affairs that we (collectively) have become too dependent on the state to protect us (collectively). Even sadder is the apathy shown by so many that they choose not to want to protect themselves. My 5 bob 4 and a ha’penny. :>}

Kinda like New York state and its droves of amazingly dimwitted people who would allow a robot to do the thinking for them as they merrily drive right off a pier and into a river?

You have enough ex-military Citizens who are fully capable of handling a firearm.
More than enough to get this kick-started. Those same Men and Women could open
schools to train people as a requirement by a new law. I see no excuse.
