Should it be mandated by the government? Have you ever lived in a place where it was? Good luck getting to someone who is certified to provide, say, Washington DC’s mandatory training if you don’t have a car. I will oppose such attempts because they violate our constitution.
That isn't a "reasonable restriction" it's an attempt to license a right. This guy at the heart of the discussion is a member of the state and calling for just that. The government is not free to try licensing my rights. You are free to encourage the common sense of becoming trained with a gun if you want to own one. A right that exists at the pleasure of the state is not a right. A dangerous liberty is far more preferable to a safe nanny state. The issue is personal responsibility for your actions. But more than that, this isn't about me personally, it's about our fundamental rights as free citizens.įirearm training is a no brainer and is your personal responsibility to seek it out and become proficient with the weapon that you want to use, and I submit that any reasonable person would do so. I'm former infantry, and I was raised around guns.
