Do they not?
Here in America, requiring such a thing would be regarded as infringing on people's right to own guns. Uneducated people have a right to own guns, according to the gun nut interpretation of our Second Amendment, that totally ignores the part about being part of a "well regulated militia."
We have know-nothing, shit-for-brains people with guns here. And, of course, intelligent, well educated people may own guns also, if they so choose.
You must be some kind of commie foreigner, who would want people to have training before having a right to a gun!
