There should be stricter restrictions on gun ownership for everyone
Beyond a standard license, a comprehensive evaluation could test a person’s character and mindset. The goal is to ensure that anyone possessing a firearm truly understands the gravity of that responsibility before being allowed to own one.

I agree with the goal behind that statement: owning a firearm is a serious responsibility, and it makes sense to require people to understand safety, legal consequences, and proper handling. Basic steps like background checks, safety training, and secure storage expectations seem reasonable to me.
Where I start to disagree is the idea of a “comprehensive evaluation of character and mindset.” That sounds good, but it’s very hard to do fairly in real life. Once you move into judging someone’s personality or beliefs, it becomes subjective—and that can lead to bias or inconsistent decisions. Rights shouldn’t depend on whether an evaluator personally “feels” someone is fit.
