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.

Cheers,
Adam
