No. Because the whole point of guns is to equalize people regardless of skill. Normal people can't spend their lives training, terrorists can.
"Everyone can kill people regardless of skill" seems much worse than 'only highly skilled people can". None of these shooters ever "spent their life training".
Skill means people with resources and able-bodied. If you want to further centralize lethal power in the hands of those people that is your choice.
If only it were my choice.
