Your right to move around is not enumerated in the Constitution. Yet you assert it, and if you assert it by driving, you acquired a driver’s license, and submitted to its terms. In the past, driver’s education was provided in the public schools, and most people thought it was a good thing. You can’t say that moving around is less important than self defense. They are both “natural rights.”

“Education” is mandated by the government, and we accept it. Why would mandating firearms education be a step in the wrong direction? It used to be common in our high schools.

I’m sorry, but I cannot get on your level of discussion. I’ve already said there is no enumerated right to drive a car in the constitution. There is to keep and bear arms without infringement. Any government regulation on the keeping and bearing of arms is infringement, to include requirements for training. Do I think you should get training? Of course.

Let me ask you a couple of rhetorical questions; what government official is going to determine how much training I need to keep and bear arms? Am I required to get an hour? A day? A year? How do I document the training I got from my father from the time I was 8 years old when he bought me my first rifle? What kind of guns can I own? Do I have to have training on each one?
