The point I am trying to get at is that there is a lot of hype about guns. A large group of people own a lot of guns. In that group, there are people who own, but are not at all educated on their safety, use, or anything else for that matter. No knowledge or training is required to own or use a gun. Yet, it can be used to legally kill another person in the act of self-defense. It can also easily kill or severely injure others accidentally if handled carelessly. Had the owner of the gun in the recent shooting been trained a better way of storing the gun and had the risks drilled into him, this may not have happened.
People do need to own up to their mistakes. The model of learning to use a gun by trial and error though instead of required training is something I have a hard time with.

If we're going to mix the two subjects, oddly enough it's easier for the government to take one's children than to take their guns and there is no constitutional argument about that.
