Just like flying cars, a weapon in the hands of JQ Public is lunacy?

Another coward with a weapon...maybe we should start having psychological testing for people who need weapons(but don't hunt for food, or need it for work, such as law enforcement), just like the NASA employee who went off the deep end.

The technology for flying cars was here 50 years ago...in testing, it was found the average person was not competent in 3-d space, and it was cancelled.

Yet we place a gun in the hands of virtually ANYONE based on some contituional right when we still had to hunt for food. As a vet, I can tell you the only thing driving weapon sales is testosterone driven impluse, like buying a Hummer. JQ public can't wipe his/her rear end properly...they sure don't need a gun!

Answer 1

My what a high opinion you have of your fellow citizens! I have very low testosterone, being female, and a few firearms and a love of the shooting sports. Go fig.

Answer 2

You must be a veterinarian, because it's difficult to believe a true military veteran would say what you said.
You seem to have conveniently left out the part in the constitution about our right to bear arms against our enemies, as in "militia".
It didnt say anything about hunting.

Answer 3

Sounds similar to the excuse Hitler used when he took away the guns.

Answer 4

good question.
