Agree here, but I'd also be in favor of some method of requiring gun owners to undergo this kind of course as well. While accidents are a small fraction of total gun deaths [1], they seem especially preventable by creating a well-regulated militia[2] and ensuring that armed citizens are required to at least be trained in the proper storage of their weapons.

10 USC 311 states that the militia of the United States is composed of all able-bodied male citizens between the ages of 17-45, among others.[0]
