Guns should exist, people should have a right to have them for hunting or protection.
The community should have the right to qualify people to own guns through a background check along with a standard test of laws and gun safety. If we regulate who can drive a car we should absolutely regulate who can operate a gun. When crazy people stop getting their hands on guns we can revisit the requirement for regulation.
That's my opinion.

Good points.
The community DOES have a lot of say in everything. Properly brought, the local community can get issues before a 12-person jury that can make local changes. Most communities don't know this.
The community doesn't regulate car driving. The State does. And, judging by the way that there is a single style in the DMV websites for all the states, perhaps the Federal really does the regulating, behind the scenes.
The same problem exists with all this as with every other method of gun control. The 99% of the good people will knuckle under to the community rules. The crazy people may be too crazy to figure out how to break community rules. But the crooks and criminals and downright bad people will have as many guns as they want, under the floorboards in their house... no matter what the community rules are.
The only real benefits to gun controls like these are: 1) the training that the public will receive regarding gun usage and safety; 2) a feeling of security among a lot of cowardly community members, even though that security is a false security. The security is here now without the gun controls. It's just that the wimps don't know it.
