I wondered whether those same people believed that just anybody should be able to buy a vehicle and take it out on public roadways without any kind of driver’s training, test or license.

I believe that, in the sense that the training doesn't have to come from the government. My Dad taught me how to drive. And having driven in the Washington D.C. area for several years (and somehow surviving despite the best efforts of these imbeciles to kill me) I cannot buy the notion that having a driver's license proves that its bearer is competent to operate an automobile.

Nowadays the only purpose a driver's license serves is as an identification card. Why don't we quit pretending otherwise?

My Dad taught me too. He also taught me to shoot and gun safety! With the number of "accidental shootings" by the supposed professionals (law enforcement) I certainly don't believe that they are qualified to instruct people.
