Guns, Carried Openly or Concealed, Threaten Our Safety

[Straw Man]

76. Yes, it must be.

A major REASON why I OPPOSE allowing people to wander around in public with guns is that THERE IS NO OVERSIGHT.

Really? So the background check that I had to undergo to obtain a handgun permit was a figment of my imagination? The background check that I undergo whenever I purchase a firearm is an illusion? The criminal and civil codes that circumscribe any and every action I may take with a gun are just are pure fairy tales?

Bus drivers are tested, have to have special licences, are limited in the hours a day/week they may drive the buses and are visible to the general public as bus drivers and observable by the general public as they drive their buses, and have employers that oversee their work and ensure they comply with the hour limitations, observe them to make sure they are not drinking or doing drugs and are subject to civil and criminal liability if they fail to oversee the drivers properly, etc. etc. etc.

Oddly enough, I don't see anything in there about psychological screening for suicidal tendencies. That was the topic. Remember?

There is no oversight for me to have faith in.

You said, "no one can tell for sure whether anyone is suicidal" -- in other words, effective oversight of mental state is impossible. You say you want oversight, yet you deny that it would be effective. Is there some other way to interpret that? Please enlighten me.
