There does seems to be a rash of felony stupid these days too. You had the officers down in the Corpus area, the guy at ASC on Wednesday, and I just read about a truly tragic case of a guy who'd just signed on to be a deputy trainee with his local LE agency, "accidently" killing his wife.

I think you should be required to pass an IQ test before purchasing a firearm... as well as before having a child... but apparently that's fascism

Actually, yes it is. Ever hear of eugenics? A practice put into play during the fascist days of Nazi Germany. There is a big difference between intelligence and proper training. A person with an IQ of 160 can still ignorant of proper gun handling. You're also making the statement that those with a low IQ should have the ability to defend themselves and loved ones against imminent danger taken away. Proper training in the use and handling of a firearm is something even a slow person can receive. The same goes for parenting.
