    This is like saying we shouldn’t offer driving classes because one day a student might get into an accident.

    This is a hilarious example considering that in most states you have to be like 16 or something before any driving classes are offered. For precisely the reason you stated.

    It's additionally hilarious because cars are something that just about every person in America has to use at some point. Transportation is essential and there are very few other ways to do it, thus driving privileges that are easily and affordably obtained even at the young age of 16 or so are a necessary and calculated risk. I personally would not want that to be a reality for guns and defense, but what do I know.
