I think firearms regulations are somewhat too onerous in some respects and in some areas of the US, and in other respects and other areas, not stringent enough.
Harris also places what I think is an unwarranted emphasis on the idea of firearms training. To paraphrase another mildly problematic writer on firearms, Larry Correia, who is an actual firearms instructor—indeed, who is an instructor of firearms instructors—"training" is mostly irrelevant to firearms safety or effectiveness.

Obviously, a certain amount of "training" is prudent, particularly regarding safety, maintenance, storage, carry, and marksmanship, but the amount training that is actually effective is minuscule. By far, the most relevant factor when it comes to firearms is temperament, and some people simply do not have the temperament to be allowed access to firearms, including many people professionally tasked with carrying and using them.
