Cherry-Picking from montana?
It would be nice if all would participate so having a high school diploma would be all that is needed to show competency. I concede, however, that not everyone will agree to be forced to go through this training so a forearms training card/certificate will be needed.
The rationale for universal training, beyond the obvious national defense implications, is that no one can be singled out for discrimination based on having gone through the training.

This could be misused like any well intention law but it has worked with hunter safety.I would extend this to the requirement that every US citizen be required to go through firearms handling and marksmanship training during their senior year in high school.
I believe any person, "who is trained and has proven to be a responsible citizen" should be able to own any firearm made.
