Please remember, when the 2nd Amendment was written, folks knew enough about firearms, because they used them to put food on the table, daily!

Today, firearms, have become something to pick up with the pinkie finger extended and a vocal “ew-ee” coming from the indoctrinated hoplophobe.

Demonstration in safe handling of firearms, is required as part of acquiring a hunting license, and has been since 1980 in different states, so I see no real bother there. The training is performed by NRA-certified trainers, which can be a boon for those who have a difficulty in grasping the methods or the reasons. (At the least, it is NOT the trainee’s husband, wife boyfriend or girlfriend, attempting to teach them!)

I understand your point, because I said "I will admit to mixed emotions about the educational training, some people do need it".

But infringement is infringement on the 2nd amendment.

Hope you understand where I'm coming from.

It is a gray area for me and I don't like gray areas.
If push came to shove, I'd probably come down on the side of an education requirement, but I don't like coming down on that side, but see the need.

By saying that, I'm force to say I favor an infringement, that's my conflict.

As far as a fee for my second amendment rights, that's pure BS.

are you saying you agree with Government requiring citizens to get some king of training?

that's ridiculous imo

Here's my Constitution and we'd be better off if it were like this:

Federal Government should be limited to only international affairs (dealing with mainly stopping foreign large scale threats as in invading foreign armies, immigrants, poisons form abroad))

also no government can never tell us what kind of training we must get or who should or what we can purchase from the free market. that means no gov schools, no permits , no licenses, no obamacare etc. why is a gov idiot so much more capable of permitting me or telling what I have to do to better my life or what I am permitted to do or not. I'll write the local and state limitations but not much more than the fed does.
