Ranting is not appropriate - GEM
Lately I have been seeing and hearing a disturbing amount of cases of people being irresponsible with firearms and it really makes my blood boil, and when I say really I mean really.
Now, I know the second amendment by heart, it is a document and a piece of our country that is near and dear to me. But don't you think that there should at least be a 10 question test at the end of a background check form to determine whether or not someone possesses the common sense and basic knowledge (and I mean VERY basic) every gun owner should have?
Something along the lines of:
If I ever were to open a gun store I would not sell a gun to anyone who could not satisfactorily answer every question on this test. I guess it's not the government's job to legislate this, I DO consider myself a libertarian after all, but I would like to see a consensus among the gun industry and private store owners, and yes, even Wal Mart to enact a policy like this. It would almost certainly give the anti's one less thing to [whine] about (although we all know they'll never really stop with their bull[crap]).
Go ahead and flame me.

Something along the lines of:
- The Four Rules
- Be able to explain why you can't just put any bullet in any gun
- How to use the sights
- How to properly load a gun
- How to maintain a gun
- How to deal with malfunctions
