Guns and colleges make formula for tragedy

135. There are regulations for hunters. But hunters do not have to go to training.

They are expected, as competent adults, to know the rules and know the equipment without having to, say, go through training that is suitable for a professional dangerous-game hunter.


I have never said that restrictions are illegal. I'm questioning your assertion that, before I can carry concealed, I have to be as good as a professional law-enforcement officer in terms of combat skills and tactical awareness.


Since CCWers are already a pretty safe and law-abiding group, since there are only a relative handful of justifiable self-defense shootings a year, and since only a handful of those involve innocent bystanders, then all this training you want to mandate, and all this money you want spent would save at best... what, a dozen lives a year?

How about we make drivers meet the standards that cops have to meet instead? Car accidents kill almost 40,000 a year, as opposed to a couple of hundred of gun accidents. Seems to me that requiring police-level training for drivers (remember, driving is NOT a constitutionally-protected right, but a privaledge granted by the state) would save far more lives than fussing about CCWers.

No, the fact that you're hot and bothered to make people spend large amounts of money for the priviledge of carrying concealed means that your goal is to use the power of government to strongly discourage CCWers.



And quite frankly, if lots of people DID pay the money and get the police-level training and skills to get a CCW permit, there a lot of people in the Gungeon that would say that this level of committment is de facto proof that the person is NOT mentally capable of responsible concealed-carry.

"They spend all their time thinking about killing people! Discussing the best way to kill a person! Frothing over weapons of death! Discussing which bullet will kill somebody the fastest! Which one will blow the biggest chunks of flesh out of a person! OBVIOUSLY they shouldn't own a gun, much less carry one in public!"
