In reply to the discussion: Robbers starts shooting in restuarant, one is killed by CCW customer. [View all]oneshooter
(8,614 posts)7. Lets look at this one item at a time, shall we?
#1 "register his firearm with law enforcement "
This does what to stop or slow crimes like this? The Goblins are not required to register theirs. To do so would be "self incrimination".
#2 "maintain a license that includes regular mental and physical fitness check-ups"
The Police would be required to do these tests? What psychologist would take on this task? And I know some older gents who can, and have used a handgun in their defense, several are over 70. Who sets these arbitrary standards.
#3 "carry liability coverage" No insurance firm that I know of has such a policy.
#4 What other civil rights would you apply this to?

Please don't get me wrong. I am not against responsible, reasonable gun ownership.

I gotta think if just one person there had had a can of beans none of this would have happened . . .
