True. In which case, it would be time to change the legislation.
But, I think training which is mostly ineffective is still better than no
training.
Maybe I've been watching too much TV (entirely likely), but I have these
mental images of people walking into gun shops, buying a weapon OTC, and
thinking that they are suddenly safe from attack. Without knowledge and
experience, they are a danger to themselves and others.
