12. I have no issue with education as well

the problem is that people pushing mandatory education requirements are doing so not primarily to ensure trained gun owners, but to discourage gun ownership- essentially make it harder. If education is really the main goal i support a national gun safety certificate that can be attained through taking a test. Anybody at any time could take this test and no classes would be necessary- since many people learn gun safety without the need of a $200 course. I think such a program should be modeled after HIPAA training in most major health centers
