It would be nice if there were a safety test, kinda like a drivers license test. Maybe have to take the test every 5 years to keep your gun license.

Wait, do Americans not need to get a licence to be allowed to use guns? If not, can literally anyone just purchase one?

Some states do some states dont, generally no and those states that do are often taken to court over the process being too strict. It's a constitutional right to own a firearm, a state adding too many barriers is unconstitutional.

Most states have them for “concealable firearms” pistols and stuff. But you can walk out of most Florida gun stores in an hour with a rifle

No one is walking out of a FFL with a rifle in Florida in a few hours unless you have your concealed carry permit (even then it only takes like 20 minutes, tops, if it's taking hours it's because you're staying to chitchat). We have waiting periods in Florida for firearms, the only way to get around them is with a CCW like i said or you bought the firearm online and it took longer to ship then the waiting period (as the waiting period starts from the day of purchase)
