If you can’t be trusted with a gun you shouldn’t be in the military. No more of this “you’re an adult only when it’s convenient for us” crap.
I mean… in the military you get training and supervision. Us civies can just walk out the shop with a brand new rifle: no training, few questions asked.
Then provide training?
Requiring training and a license to own a gun? That would go to court as being unconstitutional.
So just proliferate free training to as many people as possible.
That's kinda the point of The BSA/GSA. Unfortunately these days scouting seems to be mostly arts and crafts, rather than outdoorsman training.
That's been the case in Connecticut since Sandy Hook, and so far nobody has successfully challenged it
