And after passing the written test, you have to demonstrate a number of advanced driving skills, including yielding, slowing down and parallel parking. To get a gun, all you do is complete an application and wait a few days. You don't even have to pass a test on the common art of holding up a bank. Of course, as the NRA likes to say, guns don't kill people. People kill people.
Guns just make it a whole lot easier.
