This won't go anywhere.
Sen. Cory Booker has introduced a bill requiring gun owners to obtain a federal gun license. Booker says that since drivers have to be licensed, so should gun owners.
The difference is, driving a car isn't a right, whereas gun ownership is a right. The Supreme Court twice already decided that a right cannot be licensed.
From Guns.com:
“If you need a license to drive a car, you should need a license to buy and possess a gun,” said U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, a Presidential candidate, and the bill’s author.
The measure, dubbed the Federal Firearm Licensing Act, would require individuals who want to buy or receive a firearm to first get vetted by and be issued a license from the U.S. Department of Justice. In addition to an extensive background check, applicants would have to complete firearms training “which must include a written test and hands-on training to ensure safe use and accuracy,” and submit fingerprints. Further, the licensee would have to report to DOJ the make, model, and the serial number of the gun being transferred.
The license would have to be renewed every five years, to include refresher training and a subsequent background check. No license, no guns.
