Quote:Statistics clearly show that one out of every 50 million in the US will shoot somebody out of sheer anger. Just think of how many you personally know that went all Columbine on the general public. It's just too common.

And if there are 300 million of us....that means what? MAYBE 6 will go gonzo?

Of course to drive a car, you have to have a licence, earned by proving competency and safety behind the wheel. If you have to prove you're able to safely and expertly use a firearm before you can buy and take one home, and lose that licence if you are found using the weapon dangerously, or with it on your person while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, then that's fine with me.
Bar staff could say "give me your car keys and your gun, son, you've had enough".
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

I have no fear of guns at all... Just the lunatics brandishing them around.
Sort the loons out from the sensible gun handlers and then I say: "Go with your weapon and make merry."
Of course, you remove the 'loon's you have no need for guns... Or do you?

Quote:LOL, maybe that's how it's done over there guys, but here it's a driver's Ed class in High School taught by the Gym teacher, a "test" where you show you can put the car in reverse, then off you go to cut peeps off, "forget" to signal, and crash during your first rain or snow storm.

So what you're saying is there is no skill involved in learning to drive over there then Chris?
Hmmm, would explain why you boys don't got a Formula 1 Champion :P (just ribbing you bud)

Quote:None whatsoever, generally. Some states require testing as you get on in years, but most don't even do that. What I'm on about is that any fool can drive a car, and any fool can get a gun. Consider the death of that 8 year old at a gun show in Massachusetts supposedly run by professional gun enthusiasts. Look at all the auto deaths in my country. No one here can even walk on pavement with a little bit of ice without falling & nearly killing themselves.

We train nobody to do anything well.
I had a cop friend tell me that they were trained how to fight & shoot by going to infrequent classes where stuff got "demonstrated" for them. He said he learned to shoot his gun & fight hand to hand on his own time & money.
