just as the car manufacturors didn't force us to endure cars with no seatbelts and metal dashboards, or consider the microscopic lead we breathed from leaded gasoline? corporate america has a responsibility not to hurt or poison people in order to enrich their shareholders. how can you defend unethical behavior on such a large scale?

I'm sorry, I'm used to taking responsibility for my actions. I didn't realize that it was corporate america making me do things. Thanks for opening my eyes. :shock:

Education is great but who makes the education requirements? What are your education requirements before allowing ownirship of a firearm. Do you require an in depth knowledge of use of force even lethal force? Do you require in depth knowledge of firearms usage for hunting? Do you require a demenstration of ability if so define it. If you require education and ability before ownership then the skill set and knowledge requirements can be made so ownerous that no one can quilify. Such as take a old police snub nose .38 and fire 10 rounds into a one inch circle at 1000 yards. It is impossible but if the requirement to demonstrate ability was written into law than some groups will push for such requirements. Also what will be the cost of such education and training prior to the ability for someone to own a firearm? Will it be provided free or will you be required to shell out $50.00 or $500.00 or $5,000.00 or some other amount and how often will you be required to retake the "Education".

Beleave it or not I beleave all people should be given basic firearms instruction in school but requiring education prior to ownership just opens up ways of denying more people the ability to own a firearm.


Umm a bit touchy are we...:yikes: I never mentioned anywhere about mandatory EDUCATION... Education comes in many forms. The key here is KNOWLDGE of what one has in their home or business. But again its all in the eye of the beholder once one decides he/she knows everything. Sadly this tragedy may have been prevented if one was EDUCATED on identifying the target prior to pulling the trigger.

I will add this as an opinion here... Anyone who owns a Gun out of FEAR needs to recheck the need and get an EDUCATION. FEAR kills more innocent people than what we know....

Sorry I JUMPED to a conclusion that you were wanting to require training before a person could own a firearm.
