It may not be absolutely accurate with everyone who supports the idea of mandatory training, but it's entirely accurate when discussing those writing the legislation.
This is the exact same fallacy that you've been arguing against all day. If everyone in the world had telepathy, we rarely have unarmed people who mean no physical harm get shot to death. Because the person they were "threatening" wouldn't really be threatened.
Likewise, it's silly to assume the motives of legislators.
There's no way to know what's in the mind of a politician, nor can one know what's in the mind of the person who breaks into your house at 2am with no visible weapons.
