Exactly.
Licensing allows for multiple things. 1) It allows tracking of education and ability. Just as a drivers license does. 2) It clearly defines who has the right to carry/own a weapon. This expedites things for gun sellers/owners/ and law enforcement.
The last one there needs no expedition. That one needs to be restricted as much as possible. And licensing is a bad bad bad idea that only creates government databasing on people to track and monitor. The government does not have that right. Hell, the government doesn't have rights at all; it merely has duty, privilege, and responsibility granted to it by the People. I have the right to keep and bear arms, it doesn't matter anything else. It doesn't matter if I've taken classes, it doesn't matter how "educated" I am, it doesn't matter what the government says I have to do or what I can or can't own. I have the right to keep and bear arms. Done. I don't need permission to exercise that right, it's a right. Hell, I don't see why we need a CCW to conceal carry; I should be able to conceal carry without notifying the government or getting their permission. And open carry should be assumed legal as well, I have the right to keep and bear arms.
