Of course there are problems. And will continue to be. But history shows there are fewer problems when people are trained. Part of our training in police school was: When you go to a bar, leave your gun and badge at home. There will always be violence among us, there will always be criminals among us. That is a fact of life, a fact of imperfect human condition. Stupidity cannot be outlawed, because stupidity is a basic human right. It is not possible to stop all violence, certainly not by legislative means. What legislators can do, is reduce it as much as possible. And it is my humble opinion that, in the US, proper training is the best way to go. We obviously have a difference of opinion, and that's just fine.
