Gun ownership should be linked to education

I'm not going to bother looking it up right now, but I read a few years ago that while the number of guns have increased the percentage of Americans who own them has actually declined. This jibes with my personal observation that gun owners tend to own lots and lots of guns (personally I'm satisfied with the one single-shot shotgun I inherited from my grandpa). Back in college, I worked at a restaurant and one of my co-workers who was getting the same ****ty wage that I was managed to somehow buy a new gun seemingly every couple of weeks.
So I propose this: people shouldn't be eligible for any form of public assistance if their gun collection could ostensibly be sold to cover whatever needs they may have.

I’m so sick of ignorant fools putting the 2nd amendment and their right to bare arms over the lives of innocent children. The 2nd amendment was a good idea in principle when it was written back in the day, but these days it’s outdated and extremely stupid. You ain’t taking on a tyrannical govt with the worlds most advanced military equipment at their disposal with semi auto AR15s, shotguns and 9mm pistols, but deep down you know that. You just wanna run around with guns because, y’know, FREEDOM and all that nonsense. Scotland, Finland and Australia among others banned the general public from having access to guns after one school shooting atrocity respectively, there have been zero repeat incidents in these countries. Surely even the most hardened gun nut in the USA can make the connection? They can, but choose not to. Disgusting. ~some random tiktoker.

But the higher education you would require for gun ownership is largely a product of privilege that isn't available to most black and hispanic Americans. You are suggesting a discriminatory policy that favors white people.
