<<Would you support a mandate for formal training, as a precursor to gun ownership?>> No. I would support a mandate requiring everyone to be trained prior to the age of 16 which would accomplish the same thing but in a different manner. It could be viewed with as much importance as sex education IMO. Both are just as deadly these days.

w, <<Would you support a mandate for formal training, as a precursor to gun ownership?>> Absolutely. Firearms safety courses should also be taught in school for every student, may help reduce accidents. Many states require hunter safety courses before a hunting license may be issued. However, I don't think that any training other than psychiatric help would have prevented the recent school shootings. Unfortunately, blatant firearm abuse will always occur, just like driving abuse.
