That you would ask a person to go through a long and difficult (in my opinion) driving test before getting something with only the potential to be a weapon.

Since people are required to take a driving test before being given a driver's license, why not a mandatory gun safety training course (perhaps one developed by the NRA)?

I have the same logic.
You need a license to drive a car... and are required to demonstrate competency.
Should be the same for firearms.

Driving is a privlidge.
Travelling is not.
You need a license to drive because driving is a privlidge, not a right.
Travelling is a right, and you need no test to operate your own two feet.
Arms for defense are a right, not a privlidge, so the government can't demand a test for ownership and still maintain its current system.
