Unless you have hard data to show the % improvment that would result?
Second, you are attempting to create a false narrative by describing the stuation as "better trained versus untrained." Many CC holders are very well trained, probably much better than what your government standards would produce.
And third, your proposed government training could be expected to produce shooters no more capable than the police, who -- even when they're on the scene, as in Dayton and the incidents posted above by DNS -- typically stop the shooter only after he's killed and wounded many people.
