Do guns come with safety training?

Paul Helmke (President, The Brady Campaign) gives expert video advice on: Do guns increase violent crime?; Is it safer to use a gun in an attack?; Why is there opposition to gun locks? and more...

When you buy a gun you can go in, fill out the form, and as long as you pass the background check you can leave in about eight minutes and you don't have to do anything else. A number of gun dealers could make safety training available. Some do. But generally there are no requirements that you have any training at all before you buy a gun. You just have to go in, pass the background check, and you can walk out with as many guns as you want at any time and really any kind of semiautomatic. You got the credit card and the credit limit you can walk out with a thousand AK-47's tomorrow-- no safety training, nothing like that.
