This is a joke, right?
This still doesn't solve anything in my book...anyone that would take the training, likely already knows how to shoot. Secondly, this gives an avenue for nutjobs that shoot up movie theaters a place to go and learn how to keel even more efficiently...yay. Just because you train a nut case how to shoot a gun, doesn't change the fact that he's still a nut case.I am a supporter of gun control. I believe guns should be controlled through education and routine training. Therefore, I have written to my local representatives to push forward the the Firearms Training Act.
The Firearms Training Act would provide free training and education about firearms to anyone who would like such training. The government would pay for programs which would train the firearm owner on how to operate their firearms in a responsible and safe manner. Furthermore, such an act would fund and promote national competitions where firearms owners could practice what they learned in the training.
It is my belief our society has a problem in that most owners are not trained or educated enough to be able to operate their firearms. A government sponsored program to educate and train would help alleviate random accidents. It would also help folks stay out of legal trouble. Many people cant afford such training so its important that our government fund and pay to train the owners and to encourage them to compete in national competitions.
In my opinion, this is the most sensible form of gun control. I will now post a poll where members of The High Road can let everyone know how they feel about the Firearms Training Act.
