Message 23470445 I wouldn't restrict the training to just handguns, btw, so my "people" whomever they are would have stopped this guy. There was a murder-suicide just three blocks from my office a couple weeks ago in Seattle (at Univ of Wash). You being there would likely not have changed a thing, although if you were quick reacting perhaps you'd have killed him before he killed himself. Even professionals (cops) get surprised and killed. Properly trained people can and do make a difference -- a cop (well trained and off duty, perhaps like you?) helped to minimize a rampage at Tacoma Mall a few months ago, saving who knows how many lives in the process. For most people, however (with today's laws and no training), buying a gun actually increases their chances of getting shot or killed (or their kid). That's what I want to reduce, and this psycho and the Michigan one getting weapons so easily. I wouldn't mind waiting for a handgun or rifle, and being required to take a training class, for the simple reason that I want others to do so and so that I am safer from them. I also don't want my own life haunted because I accidentally killed some mother of four.
