License (1) formal or legal permission to do something specified (2) a document etc, indicating such permission. License denotes priviledge. Why do you want to convert a right guaranteed in the constitution into a priviledge subject to the whims of government? Your use of the driver's license to illustrate your point is "interesting". Driving is not a right - it's a priviledge and subject to revocation for just about any reason the government or its agents choose. In case you missed it, informed legal opinion (on both sides - much to the liberals chagrin) is that the 2nd Amendment is an INDIVIDUAL right. Your scheme is just another tool for activist judges and liberal legislators to further restrict already threatened rights. FWIW - You might want to study some 1950's era Civics textbooks (to the best of my knowlege there are no modern equivalents - certainly nothing untainted by the current liberal bias in education). They would go far towards rectifying an apparently incomplete understanding of the Constitution and the Original Intent of the Founding Fathers. Peregrino
