there are no qualifications for gun ownership in Nebraska.

only a 5 states require a license for a shot gun, in the form of a Firearms ID. They require no coursework on training.

Typically you only need to take a gun safety class if you are buying a handgun, and even then only a dozen states require that.

So everyone in Nebraska is an unqualified gun owner.

do you live in Nebraska? you are welcome to move there and participate in their politics and change the laws.

but I don't think you're interested in doing that.

Moving to Nebraska is a pretty high cost for trying to improve the life expectancy of people who don’t want that
