require federal licencure for the ownership of firearms.

We compell the President of the United States to introduce legislation before congress to require federal licencure for owners of fireams.Such licencure should require not only a waiting period for the purchase of said weapons, but also criminal background checks, fingerprinting, a comprehensive psychological evaluation, and pertinant training. These are standards which are in place for all potential military enlistments, and most law enforcement agencies nation wide. To hold the civilian population to a lower standard than military and law enforcement is counterintuitive. Such licencure would not infringe upon individual rights regarding gun ownership. Federal licencure should not supercede state requirements but rather be a prerequisite for local applications.
