Nowhere in the US Constitution is there a requirement to have 8 hours of training to own a firearm.
Should we say you can only post on the Internet if you only have passed a class on political correctness so that you don't offend someone?

I've come to realize that the infringement clause really means I am allowed to do whatever I want without any personal responsibility, because everything is an "unnecessary burden".
The founding fathers were visionaries not forecasters. They also seemed to have faith in future generations that we could figure out the changes that go along with progress. As much as I laugh at the youtube videos of people who can't correctly discharge weapons I still think knowing proper technique is a good idea if just for those around.
I wonder how life would be if "shall not be infringed" had been the word choice in the other Amendments especially 1,4 and 5.

don't look at me. I'm for allowing any weapon you want as long as its use is well-regulated for proper use.
