So, AZAK, if I understand you, it is not "politically correct" for some of us to suggest that it would be a conscientious and responsible thing for a gun owner to seek out training, because it may appear elitist and may have undesirable political consequences.
Suggesting that training, or even showing using examples or sound logic, is a good idea is a far cry from from making it a "moral obligation".

Once we introduce the idea that morality has anything to do with it, what about the FACT that if we did not own guns there would be zero danger of an innocent bystander being harmed by "incompetent gunowners"; after all this is more moral, the moral high ground as it were.

Sure you can argue this premise; however, don't introduce "moral obligation" and you don't open Pandora's box, or attempt to compromise an inalienable right.
