I cannot understand why it would *not* be in the interest of the NRA to bring to light incidences of accidents and abuse. I would think sound public policy would instill certain qualifications, among them personal training to be subsidized by . . . constitutionally informed producers.

I'll ask again. Are you saying that free citizens should be required to obtain governmental training and approval prior to exercising their 2nd amendment rights?

No. Private training would be best. “Constitutionally informed” means the trainers who understand the separate nature of a citizenry holding its government in check. Required? Not sure how that comports with the text we live under. Extreme example, but I don’t think we want to have 6 year olds purchasing firearms independent of legal supervision.
