    Accepted, and so do professionally trained doctors and surgeons but I suspect it would be a whole lot worse without the training. No level of training will ever completely eliminate the hazards associated with anything but training goes a very long way to reducing the likelihood that they will occur. There will always be the possibility of momentary inattention and all the training in the world will never get rid of the stupidity factor in those that have it.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    True Rushy.... but a license process that requires training would therefore only be required if it can be established that we have a significant problem as a result of inexperience.

    If as I suspect, we have more issues with experienced people where is the benefit to reducing harm by evaluating those without experience....?

    Resources are scarce, and someone always has to pay... we better be certain we dedicate any resources to areas where it can be established that we have significant benefit, it is not necessarily conclusive that those without experience are more dangerous...
