Does that really require people to be "trained" and take classes? Are people really that goddamned stupid?

Apparently people die everyday for being that god damn stupid or worse yet kill someone else. It's one thing if you grow up in a rural area and have experience with guns at a young age, but most people don't have that and don't learn to respect a gun.
Just like people need to be taught how to drive a car or to ride a bike, they need to be taught how to properly handle a gun. It's a deadly weapon and should be treated as such.
It's not just their lives at risk but yours as well..
