EVERYTHING about all govt requirements and needed approvals for gun ownership and possession is (and has always been) based on a "guilty until proven innocent" point of view.
Every permit, background check, all of it requiring you to pass some standard in order to get govt approval is a "guilty until proven innocent" thing. Today we are at the point (in some places) when if you turn a gun over to a dealer for any reason, you have to pass a background check (and of course PAY for it) before you can get your own property back....
I think there is a difference between things that actually stand a chance of helping keep guns from people who will misuse them and things that are just barking stupid, and are done simply because "we need to do something" and someone convinced 50.01% of the people it was the right thing to do...
ONE size doesn't fit all, and one size fits almost nobody perfectly.
Some people do bad things, with X, so the answer is don't allow anyone to have X???
Funny how no one seems to be calling for the banning of money.....the root of all evil....or so I've heard...
