Imagine if this were The Problem used to deflect from an ideologically motivated mass vehicular homicide. Perhaps any driver who threatens another driver goes on a No Car list, too. Speaking in general, does indicating that you intentionally purchased a pistol to shoot someone with it count as a threat, while we're at it..such that the majority of hangunds owners in the US would have psychologically disqualified themselves by indicating that they bought a pistol "for self defense"?
Your edit: claiming you need one for self defense automatically disqualifies you from getting a gun license in NZ. Some might view this as excessively restrictive, but so far this year, we’ve had 51 gun deaths. This in a country of 5 million people with 1.5 million firearms in private hands. Make of that what you will.
