Three words: "well-regulated militia." It's not a blanket right.

Shooter licenses would be a reasonable implementation of that.

So would mandatory training in firearm use, with testing (heck, I'd welcome the lessons).

For the person who gave the stats on doctor-caused versus shooter-caused deaths, you need to add in murder and suicide. Your point is valid, but your statistics are way off.
