But about shooting, it takes practice. Unless your intent is just to fire the gun and shoot for the "bang".

I'm not sure what you are talking about in your first sentence.
The shooting part...yeah, it does take practice if you are wanting to become a great shot and be able to hit targets with great accuracy.
Not sure if that's what gun control people are referring to when they say "training" though.
I don't think their objective is to make people MORE lethal with the weapon. lol
What I meant is...why does it take classes and trainers to "train" people?
A gun is a very, very simplistic weapon. Put bullet in, aim, pull trigger.
Totally uneducated peasants were doing it hundreds of years ago.
And also...for safety issues...Doesn't seem like it should take months of training to be told how to be safe with a gun.
You can do that in a couple of sentences.
Now whether or not people will actually DO what they know they should is another story.
Complacency and familiarity of having the gun for a long time without anything going wrong is what led to this accidental shooting. (just like it does in most accidents in life)
