You'd never suggest that firearms training could, at least
theoretically, be a part of basic public-school education, and that
their proper use could be normalized in the same way that driving a
car is a normalized skill in society.  But for some reason, people
like you think that only police and military personnel should have
firearms.  And yet, the police and military are corrupt organizations
in any country you might care to name, and cannot be trusted to do
their nominal jobs in a responsible and ethical fashion.  The only
conclusion to draw is that government as we have it today requires
that its citizens be reduced to a state of defenseless dependence on
government goodwill.

And we see how well that has worked out.

Regards,

Uncle Steve
