Neither you nor I are in control of that. I'd love for them to be better trained, all the resources are out there and they could take advantage. It's not my place to tell others how to live and I tend to mind my own business. Until they infringe on my life and my liberty... Then it's game on.If that same ratio is true for guns being used appropriately, that leaves 4 million guns being used inappropriately.
By inappropriately I was referring more to criminals. Training has nothing to do with it.Neither you nor I are in control of that.

I live with some simple personal truths:
The US has too many guns.
It is far to easy for people to illegally get their hands on legally purchased guns.
The level of gun violence in our nation is unconscionable.
There are rational and reasonable steps that could address all 3 of those truths.
The pro-gun crowd is neither rational nor reasonable.
Guns aren’t “evil things” so saying there are too many is silly. It’s like saying there are too many cars or knivesBy inappropriately I was referring more to criminals. Training has nothing to do with it.

I specifically stated that I had some simple personal truths.
I never expected you to agree, because if you did, you wouldn't currently have so many wrongheaded positions.
Give me a breakHaven't seen this level of posting hubris since D4H left.
I mean I get it...people gonna believe what they believe...but this is just straight up "The validity of my personal belief supersedes anyone that disagrees with me."
Give me a break
If it is not abundantly obvious that the opposing sides of this issue operate under different personal truths, then I don't know what to say. It is equally obvious that each person believes their truth supersedes the other's. At least I claimed that it was my truth which is an acknowledgement that it is not everyone's.
