Would gun owners accept the compromise of universal background checks in exchange for CCWs counting as a substitute for a check?
How about this…You commit a violent crime, you go to prison for a long time. Pretty much anything with a gun is a violent crime. No more of this Plea Bargain BS revolving door of justice. Get convicted and buh-bye.Otherwise, there are no gun restrictions at all. Carry where you what, what you want and how you want.Good people are not a problem and no law is going to stop a criminal.That said, there is already the framework in place to properly train people. In Article I of the US Constitution, Congress is given the power to create the standards for which the militia should meet. It is up to the state to actually ensure that the training is done and that every citizen from age 17–45 meets the standards. (Well, technically you could be sexist and restrict the requirements just to men) Today, such training should include firearm safety, basic marksmanship, basic first aid and CPR, understanding of the ICS (Incident Command System - which there are on-line courses on the FEMA website for free right now), and other logistical things like knowing how to contact emergency services, shut off gas, use a fire extinguisher, etc. Should also probably include periodic meetings with local officials, CERT groups, SAR teams, etc. All basic things that would prepare the average citizen as a resource in a time of crisis or need.This would not be a one day or even a weekend course. I could very easily see it as a 2-week program that is completed during the summer between the Junior and Senior year of High School.There would have to be exemptions for current adults, but incentives for those who elect to take the course so that some mature leadership exists.I would even go so far as to tie successful completion of the program to the right to Vote for youth. If you are not prepared to serve your community/state/nation, you have no right to have a say in how it runs.Such “militia” training must be devoid of politics. This is actually the hardest part of the deal. It must focus on the material, not some ideology either right or left.

How does one get invited to the Quora Partner Program? What criteria do they use, or is it completely random?
I live in Germany. I got an invite to the Quora partner program the day I landed in USA for a business trip. So from what I understand, irrespective of the number of views on your answers, there is some additional eligibility criteria for you to even get an email invite.If you read the terms of service, point 1 states:Eligibility. You must be located in the United States to participate in this Program. If you are a Quora employee, you are eligible to participate and earn up to a maximum of $200 USD a month. You also agree to be bound by the Platform Terms (https://www.quora.com/about/tos) as a condition of participation.Again, if you check the FAQ section:How can other people I know .participate?The program is invite-only at this time, but we intend to open it up to more people as time goes on.So my guess is that Quora is currently targeting people based out of USA, who are active on Quora, may or may not be answering questions frequently ( I have not answered questions frequently in the past year or so) and have a certain number of consistent answer views.Edit 1: Thanks to @Anita Scotch, I got to know that the Quora partner program is now available for other countries too. Copying Anuta’s comment here:If you reside in one of the Countries, The Quora Partner Program is active in, you are eligible to participate in the program.” ( I read more will be added, at some point, but here are the countries, currently eligible at this writing,) U.S., Japan, Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy and Australia.11/14/2018Edit 2 : Here is the latest list of countries with 3 new additions eligible for the Quora Partner program:U.S., Japan, Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Australia, Indonesia, India and Brazil.Thanks to Monoswita Rez for informing me about this update.
