When you wanted to drive, you had to prove competency, i.e. a road test. Why? Because you could kill someone.
However, you can just go buy a gun. I believe to purchase a gun, you should have take both a knowledge test, and a physical test to show competency and gain a license. And I'm not talking about concealed weapons permits, I mean buying a gun at all.
