But we all all know there will be another shooting later this evening . With yet another illegal gun. How sad

So why not loosen the restriction on handguns to allow there use in hunting? The current restriction on handguns does nothing to prevent there illegal use. Perhaps being use to take wild game might shine a light on showing there are other uses for handguns other than cutting paper at an approve or shooting range. The current restriction on hand guns has done nothing in terms of preventing them from being used illegally to shoot people. Why must laws serve to put inconveniences in the path of the law abiding citizenry, if they are not being adequately enforced against the criminal element within our society?

It would be like getting into a high speed chase on crowd suburban thoroughfares. The modus operandi of law enforcement is to serve and protect, it's not to shoot down or run down bystanders, hopeful they have the training and brains to with strain them selves where the safety of the general public is concern. They are not a bunch of actors on the streets of TV or Movie Land, their use of firearms and vehicles have real consequences.

I imagine they’d always do their best to avoid gunplay in crowded areas but they’re not always able to choose the time and place.
wouldn’t you think ?
