Are you saying that you think the right to bear arms should be infringed, that only people who are government-approved should be able to legally be armed? :eek:
I think everybody has the right to be armed, period. I do think mandatory training and instruction would not infringe on anybodies right to bear arms. I had to pass hunter safety at age 12, "which is the basic's of firearm safety" before I could legally hunt. I would gather most gun owners would not object to increased instruction if it meant increased ability to carry and own any firearm in any place. Depending on the firearm being used would depend on the type of instruction. You wish to carry concealed on public property, then the proper instruction should be given. You wish to own a belt fed MG-34, then the proper training would be given. This could all be done through volunteer organizations and people. Tax incentives to pay for ammunition and travel expenses would also be given. That said, all gun, magazine and travel bans would be null and void for all trained, certified gun owners. If proper training and competent gun owners is the goal, then this could happen very easily. But we all know the lefts goal is not competent, safe gun owners, but the complete power to disarm, subjugate and control the population. When the anti gun people state only the military or trained law enforcement should be able to carry firearms, then ask them about citizens who are better trained. You will get your answer.
