There are many threads here about the stupid things that people do with guns. If they only endangered themselves that would be one thing, but when they put innocent bystanders in danger, that is unacceptable.
Do you guys feel that there are people that are too stupid to own guns? If so, how could they be weeded out? A few idiots do make all of us look bad. They can also make us dead.
There are knuckleheads that operate automobiles. However, there is some testing involved in the process of getting a driver's license. At least, in theory anyway, a complete moron is not allowed to drive. It is not only for his safety, but for the public's safety too.
Many states have some sort of hunter safety requirement before a license is issued. From what I have heard, hunting accidents seem to have been reduced by this. But, what about a gun owner that doesn't hunt? He could be a "hamburger short of a happy meal" and allowed to own a device that can hurt or kill others. He can even take that firearm to some legal, public area and proceed to use it.
So, are there people, due to their stupidity, that should not be allowed to own or operate guns? Is there a solution to this?
