    Nice issue, but as worded it can be interpreted  to mean that  non-citizens wouldn't have to comply!
    Maybe: "Should U.S. residents be required...?"

    yeah, just learn how to spell 'order' and its set..

    Better yet, do we need 'in order'

    I like this issue, and my answer would be yes, and I know people are going to want to argue about this on this site.

    CNN:

    This was a question from last night's YouTube debate. I'm diggin it. 

    Andrew Fink: Hello. My name is Andrew Fink, and I have a question for Rudy Giuliani.

    Mr. Giuliani, at a recent NRA convention, you stated that it's every American's right to be secure. Yet, on March 21 of the year 2000, The Boston Globe quoted you as saying, "Anyone wanting to own a gun should have to pass a written exam."

    Considering the Constitution grants us the right to bear arms as a means of protection, why do you believe that citizens should be required to pass an exam in order to exercise their right to protect themselves and their families?
