"they will just buy the gun off the street" is absolutely the exact problem that the "crazy liberals" want to solve. They want to solve this problem by altering gun legislation that law abiding citizens will follow (you know because they are the good guys with the gun and they always follow the law).
Ill agree that some want to solve this, but many would push for total confiscation if they could and still elected. But whats a real solution?
The guns on the street came from law abiding citizens who purchased them. We need to put a stop to the easy flow of firearms to criminals and the way we can do that is to hold these "law abiding" citizens responsible. Ask them to take a class pass a test written and range and prove they can handle a firearm. Maybe a background and mental health check? And then maybe hold them accountable when guns go "missing".
The problem with the idea of this is you are talking about a right, not a privilege. A written test would be found to be unconstitutional (similar to literacy laws that southern states put in place to keep blacks from voting). But lets say it was ruled constitutional, you are setting a precedent that would allow requiring licenses for anyone wanting to be a journalist.
