Sounds lovely. Who does the training? Who does the vetting? A national board that certifies you as Not Crazy? By what criteria? What happens when two “references” have nothing to say but the third thinks you’re nuts? What is an “assault weapon” really? (We’ve been down that road with “evil features” on semi-autos and it doesn’t change anything, and don’t we really mean firepower limits, i.e. magazine restrictions, anyway?)

I’m not trying to be combative - personally at this point I’m ready to support limits on ownership of these kinds of things - but do I really trust Americans as a whole (or rather, their Representatives in Congress) to get all that right?

My thought was that the NICS ought to flag you if you’ve ever had a mental health referral from any educational institution; that would have put a stop to at least a couple of the college shooters.
