Rudy Giuliani on Gun Licensing

Attention: Wayne LaPierre - Has your head exploded yet?

"But he said the idea doesn’t go far enough, and urged that owning a handgun be subject to the same scrutiny as operating a car: applicants should pass a written and a physical test, should be subject to a waiting period and a background check, and should be required to have liability insurance." (Link)

It's very important to note that Giuliani's gun licensing plan doesn't apply to just handguns, but to rifles as well:

"Should both handgun and rifle owners be licensed...we’re talking about all dangerous weapons."

So Rudy wants to make gun owners take a written exam, a physical test of some sort AND purchase liability insurance? Hello... Republican voters... anybody home? Can you really support Rudy Giuliani and his gun control agenda?
