Yeah, it would be great if when you bought a gun they have to run a background check to make sure you aren't a convicted felon and can own a gun... Oh wait that is what the NCIS system is for. As for a course I do believe a gun safety course should be something every gun owner should take. I don't know how many times I have been in a gun store only to have people swing a barrel and inadvertently point the thing at me. Rule #1 treat every firearm as if it is loaded. Rule #2 Do not point a firearm at something unless you intend to destroy it. I can not as a supporter of this countries Bill of Rights say it should be mandatory to require gun safety training.
Yes guns were designed to kill, and personally as someone who only weighs 117lbs and can not fight. I would gladly take the small risk (I have a better chance of winning the lottery) of being killed or injured by an AD and level the playing field of any one who ever threatens my life in any way.
