Gun Safty Classes

My main concern is that a lot of people out of panic are getting guns. Most have had no contact or training at all. Children in homes that have never been exposed to guns are curious and that is what gets children hurt. Training would be better for all and better than registration.

And what makes you think that mandatory training wouldn't lead to registration? There would need to be a way to verify the training which means there would have to be a database somewhere. So instead of registering all guns, you are just registering those who are trained to use them.

If it was taught to all students in school, everyone would be on the list eventually.

And then registration (gun or person trained to use them) wouldn't matter because EVERYONE would be trained. There would be no need to verify their training and, therefore, no database. But mandatory (and verifiable) training for only those who WANT to own/use a firearm would point directly to those who own and/or know how to use one.

And this still would do nothing except inconvenience and point out the law-abiding folks. Criminals will still break the law. It is what they do after all.
