glorify guns, bloody videos, recertification, no more training solely by NRA instructors or other gun cultists, etc.

If a person is involved in domestic violence like Zimmerman, whatever gun rights they have should be appealed. If anyone is involved in a gun incident, no matter if all end well, sorry no more gunners for the proven accident prone.

And we need to change public's perception of gun culture. When we see someone with a gun on city streets, we need to look at them as a Zimmerman, or someone walking down street with a sword or spear, or confederate flag.
