I'm not arguing for gun rights, but let's have some equal protection under the law here.
Not about legal vs illegal. Plenty of people buy guns with no record at the time of purchase because of current law but fly under the radar and still end up injuring or or killing themselves or someone in the home/neighborhood. The good guy with a gun is a myth. Most gun users, including those who have no record at the time of purchase don't understand the difference between hitting a target, and hitting the right target under crisis/stress use of a gun. Most people simply buy them stupidly thinking nothing bad will ever happen because they have no record.
Law enforcement Pete Blair whose job it is to train police to shoot under crisis situations is a "good guy with a gun" who says most people DON'T understand that it isn't simply about hitting a target. And the successful "good guy" in public crisis civilian stopping a bad guy is a mere 3%. That is based on an FBI report based on data going back to 2002.
