Gun owners should be licensed but none required for breeding

Why are there so few calls for that when child abuse is rampant? Especially in light of this story:

Houston Mother Arrested for Mutilating Her Baby Son

When Katherine "Katie" Nadal took her 5-week old son to the hospital on March 13, 2007, and claimed that the family's Dachshund had attacked her child, the dog was taken into custody by the police and examined by a licensed veterinarian with the City of Houston's Animal Control Department.

Suspicion turned upon Ms. Nadal after the veterinarian examined the dog, "Shorty," and photographs of the baby's grievous injuries. The baby's genitals had been completely severed. The police were advised that no blood or human tissue was on the animal or in its mouth. The doctor concluded that the dog could not have caused the injuries.

The only good news from this:

The puppy that Nadal blamed for the attack has since been released and adopted.

puppy?
Geesh, no wonder they were suspicious.

I actually do support some sort of "parenting" permit, just like I support mandatory safety classes before CCW.
