Uh, you can kill lots of people with a car and you can kill lots of people with a gun. Hence a certification seems appropriate.

I learned how to drive a car before I got my driver's license - I'd just finished spending three years driving vehicles up to and over 60 tons, on narrow ice-covered roads no less! Why didn't the state simply waive the requirement for me? I also learned how to safely handle firearms before receiving official training; why couldn't the drill sergeant give me the day off instead?
