The only problem I see with a gun license is the creation of a list of
gun owners, which would make the job of the out of control government
cracking down on the population easier (recall that this is one of the
major reasons for the 2nd amendment).
An option I could see possibly working is having organizations certified
to issue gun licences, but not allow the government access to their
lists of licensees. They organizations would be required to periodically
verify that their licensees have not appeared on a list of convicted
felons and thus be inelligible for gun ownership. I still think this
would be an intrusion and not work well, and be subject to abuse.
