Fantasizing about good guys shooting bad guys is a losers bet. Hoping that criminals lose gun fights is not a gun policy. This silly shit is the basis of a case to criminalize possession, if this is the state of gun owning America. If people have guns with a mind to kill another person - that’s a problem.
^^^^^^^ BINGO.....
Most Americans, including most firearm owners agree that we are not on the right track.
My approach is simple. Stop assuming when someone buys a firearm with no record at time of buy, that they are incapable of hurting themselves or others at time of purchase. That is not Orwellian thought or presumption of guilt anymore than giving a drivers test to someone looking for a drivers license.
There are far more criteria for those who apply to become part of the police force and military before we ok someone in those positions. Our civilian requirements to own firearms are a joke by comparison.
There is NO test that can be administered that will predict future behavior.
None.
You are a delusional idiot if you think otherwise.
And --- what magic do you think they apply to cops and military??? Haven't you heard?? COPS SHOOT EVERYONE ON EVERY ENCOUNTER!!!! (if you believe the anti-cop rhetoric we keep seeing).
You CANNOT PREDICT FUTURE BEHAVIOR.
But you CAN look at previous behavior.
I have posted numerous time a plan to require all "bad actors" to have a "NO GUNS" logo on their identification... But -- nobody seems to think that would have any effect.....
They'd rather gaze into crystal balls and divine the future...
fucking morons..
