(St. Paul, MN) -- A Minnesota state Senator is proposing a bill that would require gun owners to have a license.

Licensing under Senator John Marty's bill would require gun safety education and training similar to the type of requirements needed for a driver's license. A license would be required for all gun sales at commercial businesses, gun shows, or between individuals.

Marty says his proposed measure would help save lives in the long run.
