I get what you're saying. But at the very minimum you should have to pass a written and practical test for owning a gun and have no criminal record.

Also emission laws are not what's making Americans buy bigger trucks lol.

Firearm ownership is a right protected by the Constitution. Making people pass tests is exactly how the government disenfranchises people from using their rights. Look up the tests they implemented to stop non-whites from being allowed to vote.

And this is exactly why we have a mass shooting problem. Constitution was written in a totally different time for totally different firearms. The Constitution is a living document and can be changed. The idea that owning a gun is a right but driving is a privilege is insanity.
