.. mandatory mental analysis of people who are for mandatory arms training.
While I agree that the new thread title makes sense from a context perspective... it churns my stomach acid every time I see it now.
"Stuff..." was much less offensive.
bless you.
I’m very disappointed in you.
who isn't?
I kinda get the OPs point about free speech and manditory school attendance. Lets start firearms training as an essential part of public education. Run it K-12. Imagine all high school grads being comfortable and familiar with guns. It would be awesome! Liberals would $hit their pants! You'd see all our gun rights restored in just a few short years.
Start with toy guns in elementary school. BB guns in middle and 22 on up in high school. Maybe even special seminars in artillery!

Where can I signup for mandatory training that will teach me how to reply to this thread?
Try Democratic Underground.
Then you maybe licking the wrong end
We now have 12 states where no training is required for concealed carry and that number is only increasing. press1280 posted about at least 2 more states looking to go that way this year and this doesn’t count all the states where permitless open carry is already a thing.
Training is always encouraged; learning is fantastic and it behooves anyone and everyone to stay on top of things. Personally, i try to learn something new everyday and I encourage others to do the same. It’s healthy. It feels good. Volunteering and electing time for this stuff is simply great.
However, you won’t see me telling folks in those states that they’re too unlearned and untrained for their own good or that they don’t deserve to be able to protect themselves in public because they haven’t passed an IDPA qualifier or some other test. This is the price of freedom we pay. We cannot control what people ultimately do. Rather, we set positive examples and incentivize continued learning.
We’re in a state where many of us just listened to testimony from people who want and work to deny others the right to protect themselves — and we have 16 hours of required training before even applying for a permit that most are unlikely to get! Our current requirements in MD are onerous even without “good and substantial” and here they are doing what they can to disarm others. It’s truly awful.
I applaud the good charity that instructors like yourself have given and hope I’m able to do the same as I go along in this. Giving back is also fantastic, feels good, and is healthy. It’s truly a wonderful thing.
We’re going to have to agree to disagree on some of this stuff.
All the best!
Meanwhile, on the topic of drums:
Re-reading everything. Damn fast. This reply post from DC-W is the correct and only answer. Winner of the thread
These guys are incredible!!! At least I think so.

First off, would everyone here agree that in order to exercise our 1st amendment free speech rights, we have had MANDATORY training? yes or no? for those who say NO, if you didn't have the training to read and write, you couldn't read this. EDUCATION is mandatory, be it homeschool or public or private, it is mandatory. .
