Well, I only mentioned it because of the comparison with car lisences. Getting a car lisence wasn't all that hard either. Multiple choice questions followed by a short drive showing you know basic rules of the road or whatever.

Let me clear this up. It wasn't an eye sight test. It's a test where you show you can handle the firearm safely. Meaning you know how to check if it's loaded and unloaded, you don't point it at anyone or hold your finger in the trigger guard while handling it and all that basic stuff.

I won't pretend it was hard. It wasn't. Anyone with minimal experience using guns will pass it. But why would I be worried? I had been handling guns much longer before I bought my own. Most people don't just show up and buy a gun with zero experience.
