License for owning and/or using a gun

The United States of America shall create a new Licensing requirement for the ownership and use of guns. The licensing could be done through the congressional offices where background checks would be performed.A license should have to be renewed every 5 or 10 years. If circumstances occur that would make another background check necessary, this should be part of the legislation.

Why is this important?

Due to the problems that we have experienced in this country in recent year, I think it is time that a Federal Gun license be needed for owning or using a gun. We have fishing licenses for fishing, so why not for shooting? It would have to be needed in every state. If the parent in a family owns a gun and he or she lets her children use it, they would have to have a license too. The background check would be done in order to get a license, and it would need to be renewed, just like a drivers license,
