The problem is not that this mass shooter didn't know how to use the safety lock or clean his barrels. And I really, really hope they're not saying the shooter needed target practice.
I know some people think that some sort of training should be required before having a firearm and that would reduce the chances of people like this with firearms.
My contention with things like this in discussions about gun control is more about the unintentional discharges, the unsafe handlings, etc. Those incidents make up a significant portion of firearm related injuries in our country, and all of them can be prevented.
