Fair point, as far as the NRA being against mandatory training.

I'll stick with this being a part of the problem though. As I've said before, basic firearm education and safety is something that should be taught in school at a young age. I'll one further that and say it should be a requirement for owning a firearm, too, which doesn't infringe on anyone's rights any more than a machine gun ban, requiring an ID to vote or not allowing slander. But it won't happen as long as the NRA is pumping millions into political campaigns.
