In my opinion, there should be mandatory training and testing to check that you know how to store and operate your firearm properly. You should also be required to own a secure place to store it.
The training and testing should be paid for by taxes though (at least the first time) so poor people aren’t restricted from gun ownership.
Basically, though I believe that does not require you to be certified for the gun you’re purchasing. It just requires general knowledge. I think it should go further.
Also, that is not a federal requirement to purchase a firearm. It’s only required in some jurisdictions.
Ideally, it should also require fairly frequent practice. This rule would be hard to enforce though.
All guns work the same. Only different is the action (how to load the gun) and there are only a few subcategories. How other people vote and decide to run there town is out of our hands. This idea that guns are hard to use is quite the contrary they are designed for anybody to use that’s why they are so deadly. Less then 1% of legal gun owners do a crime with there legally owned guns. USA doesn’t have a gun issue we have a criminal and mental health issue. Criminals do not follow any guns laws causing regular citizens to be outgunned. And we should ask ourselves what is going on in society that is causing people to shoot themselves? But you’re proving my point you just want the rules to be your way. How each state and country decide there laws is what true democracy stands for.
Yeah, militaries spend time training with specific weapons just for fun…
Sure, every gun uses gunpowder to fire a round. The methods they handle this can be fairly different, though it isn’t incredibly important. The important thing is, when it comes time to use it, that you’re familiar with the gun you have. If you aren’t then you’ll be slower. You also need to know how to clean it, and how the safety mechanism work (whether there is a safety switch, etc), and where it is on your gun.
Owning one should be a responsibity. If you aren’t ready to operate it then you don’t need to own one. Best case, if you need it you’ll be too slow and useless to be able to. Worst case, it’s stolen and used to commit a crime, and this isn’t unlikely. Firearms are, IIRC, the most frequently stolen item.

I believe that’s called the Firearm Safety Certificate lol
