Because in order to get a CCW permit, you need
But look at all the states with constitutional carry. There should be an explosion of accidents but there wasn’t an isn’t.
Your assumption is that people who buy a firearm are just immediately unsafe carrying .
But we haven’t seen any huge increase in accidents.
I would submit that people are getting training either through mentors from other gun owners of formal training. And waiting until competent before carrying concealed.
No, that's not the case at all. Some retired cops might still go on to do part time work or hell,
And it’s not necessary.
That's where the liability insurance comes
But they already are. You keep assuming that the ccw holder is somehow unsafe and a problem yet the data shows they aren’t.
Basically you are saying let’s solve a problem that doesn’t exist and regulate for the sake of regulation.
Look. You want to start somewhere? Don’t start with people who aren’t a problem.
“
Less than 1% of people who lied on gun background check forms were prosecuted last year. A
report from the Government Accountability Office says the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives referred about 12,710 cases for prosecution in fiscal year 2017. As of June 2018, U.S. Attorneys had tried only 12 of them.”
Good morning, Bulletin readers. Educators tell us how gun violence has changed their jobs as a new school year gets underway. Federal records show that prosecutions for lying on a gun background check form remain exceedingly rare. President Trump’s SCOTUS pick took questions on his...
Sorry but I have a hard time believing gun control is about stopping and preventing crime and accidents when the people that lie and try are rarely prosecuting,
I have no problem with a shall issue carry permit requiring a background check and a free safety course.
But you are requiring regulation that frankly there is zero need for. Which means that your goal is simply to throw barriers in front of citizens to discourage them from gun ownership.
Heat of passion, a shady person who manages to skate the law is able to obtain a firearm and carry it without any training, etc.
Well you just said it was the person who was willing to break the law. If they are going to break the law such that is now, they will break your regulations as well.
Can you cite those studies?
They are those same studies. Read a few in their entirety. Especially when they discuss causes.
If that's the case then do you want our military and police to only have to qualify once in their entire
Do you want the police to only have to qualify in the academy because people don't need a course a year in order to be safe, responsible, and proficient?
Ahh again, a civilian IS NOT a policeman nor a paramilitary force.
Here's the angle I'm coming from. If we require even the best of the best in both military and
Because police are entirely different than civilians.
Police officers have much greater responsibility because they have much greater authority.
Society allows police to stop and detain citizens just because they look like someone suspected of a crime. Just like when Castile was stopped by police because he supposedly looked like someone involved in a robbery.
And he was shot by police because they thought he was reaching for a weapon when they asked for his license.
Police officers are given the authority to trespass onto another’s property when they recieve calls of suspicious activity.
Like when an officer followed Mr Hill to a friends garage and then opened fire when he thought the keys in his Mr hills hand was a firearm.
Police officers are given the authority to break down doors and search houses or serve warrants
Like on Breonna Taylor.
Police have a HUGE responsibility and a huge amount of authority that civilians just don’t have.
In fact police can preemptively at times draw weapons when no immediate deadly threat is seen.
Military personnel are asked to storm entrenched enemy and attack fixed positions .
Nothing a civilian would do.
Right. And those permitless carry doesn’t seem to really cause an issue. Particularly with accidents. Which is what your rehulation is supposed to reduce right?
Cut for length. Part 2 is coming.
