If people are permitted to have firearms, then they should at least have demonstrated knowledge of the relevant laws, safety and proper handling.
I don't mind people owning guns, as long as they follow the laws.
To kind of build on what the others have said, it's not that that isn't a bad idea. In fact, it's a great idea. The problem is that like many political issues, it's taken in baby steps. First it's a little regulation, then a little more, then one day, 50 years from now, only a few people can have them.

I'm pretty much in agreement with the laws already in place. You have a background check on the spot, and that's it. If you want to hunt, then you have to take a class and get a license. Other than that, the only legal way to use it is at a range and self-defense. It's simple and effective for the government's purpose and ours.

Hey Dwarven, those are some mean looking guns!
