Majority of gun training is to safely handle a firearm. As well as laws related to utilizing a firearm, justifiable force, etc.
It depends on the class.
I've got no issue with gun safety training.
I don't see how it stops a school shooting at all though. It's not like they are accidentally shooting kids.
The majority of gun training is how to get better at shooting after you've had safety training.

No we don't. You are only required to have a license to operate a vehicle on public roads. I grew up driving with my friend in his dad's old pickup on the farm starting at age 12.

Shall not be infringed...or, this is different?

How do you exactly train someone not to shoot up a school?
Do you think the push for gun bans and new laws is bc someone accidentally shot themselves or someone else?? Uh no.

What classes in the past (because some states don't require them anymore) didn't include gun safety that were required to carry?
Kentucky's CCW includes gun safety and understanding of the laws around gun ownership/usage. It had very little to do with actual marksmanship.

Anyone who thinks mass murderers are going to be redirected over a gun safety course is the real idiot.

I'll go out on limb here... but maybe part of the training is to NOT KILL PEOPLE unnecessarily.??
If someone is dead set in going on a killing spree, no amount of training is going to make them change their mind.

my Dad (60+) grew up in the sticks. By the time he was 12 years old he had his own .22. He hunted with it and shot it for sport (target shooting). Never, not once did he ever harm another human being with a single gun he’s ever owned. Only for hunting, target shooting, and self defense. Never a miss fire, never a single accident. He taught me, my brothers, my cousins, and a lot of friends/family firearm safety.
Now, 50 years later - apparently he should be required to take firearm safety training to purchase a new firearm because of a bunch of bleeding hearts who’ve never owned a firearm. “We gotta do something”

Advocating for gun safety and training is never dumb.

Here's a typical hand gun 101 class.
quote:
Handgun 101 & Selection
(Ladies Only Available)
RATE: $120
Book Now
Course Description:
We understand that shooting can be intimidating, so we take all the time needed to make sure you feel comfortable with a handgun. The course covers gun safety, parts of the handguns, ammunition and ammunition selection, loading/unloading, misfires, establishing your dominant eye, grip, stance, and more. Students then get one on one instruction on the range while shooting a variety of handguns to see which gun fits them the best.

It also says well "regulated militia". See what happens when you just use the part you like. Training as a pre-requisite could very well fall on the "regulated" part of the 2nd.

shite, what about those of us that spent time in the military, having to qualify on multiple weapons ever single year. We're supposed to take a "gun safety" course before we can buy a weapon now?
Yea, ok.
Posted on 6/14/22 at 12:38 pm to NATidefan
The middle ground would be to incentivize it. Maybe offer a discount on for people who complete a course

“thanks for joining the military son - but when you get back to the States, you gotta go take a ‘gun safety’ course to purchase a personal firearm. It’s the law. 26 year old poli-science majors back home says it’s what’s best. It’s the law”

I'm fully aware of every single word used in the Second Amendment, and also aware "muh regulated militia" is horseshite.
The SCOTUS has ruled that firearm ownership is an individual right. Period. Not an "individual right, but...." An individual right. Tying training requirements to the ownership of firearms is infringement, and the SCOTUS will strike it down as such.
If you have an issue with the 2nd, use the legal framework the founders intended: the amendment process.

I'm sure military training would be used as enough training to qualify but by all means continue with you strawmen.

Now this I am 100% OK with. As I said, I'm a huge proponent of gun safety training...so long as it is not mandated by government fiat as a requisite to purchasing a weapon.
