Once upon a time I thought we needed a strict training requirement, including a qualification like the POST course of fire (which frankly isn't all that strict. I could finish a cigarette during the time allotted.). I thought we needed it to head off neighborhoods looking like war zones from all of the stray rounds.

I've outgrown that, when I saw the half-assed pencil-whipped crap that Gunsmoke and others have foisted on the public, and the (lack of) carnage and crime and disorder that followed. The problem just never actually showed up.
