That's not a solution because it assumes that 1. People realize they need to learn more about firearms and 2. People are responsible enough to seek out the proper training.

It also doesn't address the fact that even if people did realize they needed training and were responsible enough to seek it out that they'd receive the same level of competent instruction from a knowledgeable individual.

I'm not concerned about the percentage of firearm owners who realize they need training and are responsible enough to seek it. I'm concerned about the ones that need training and don't know it or are too lazy to get it.
