I don't think you can compare owning a gun (a physical, tangible item) to practicing religion.
As bizarre as it is for me to look at PA state liquor stores as a model, maybe that's the answer - un-privatizing gun sales. There are too many dealers out there who will overlook the requirements to get the $$$.
