To be far, you don't need to take a recertification test for driving (though i am a firm believer that you should) and the test to get a driver's license is kinda a joke...

Going to a gun range can be considered a recreational activity but i don't think a gun should ever be called a toy.
Also, i don't think anyone is trying to forced a gun into anyones hands...
I'll go back to my corner now.
