As our Legislature and our governor in their wisdom have decided that one needs no license nor any training to possess and use lethal weapons, I cannot help but wonder why Sen. Nathan Dahm and Gov. Kevin Stitt are stopping with this?
Should we not allow unfettered driving (perhaps under the notion of "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness")? How many 16-year-olds would indeed be so much happier not to have to pass driving tests?
Why not have licenseless doctors, nurses, architects, engineers, dentists, barbers and beauticians?
Why the double standard? We can hardly argue that we must license these professions in order to protect the public when we've decided that any fool with no training can have a gun.
And clearly automobiles, while they can be deadly, do have some other use besides primarily the taking of life (note that hunting rifles and shotguns do have legitimate uses; I don't think we can say that about handguns, AK 47s or the like).
How would Stitt and Dahm like an unlicensed surgeon cutting them open? Or an unlicensed engineer designing the beams over their heads?
If not, please do explain.
