By George, I think he’s got it!
More legislation!
That will stop criminals and wackos cold in their tracks!
Never mind locking up the criminally insane who are diagnosed AND medicated even before they lash out...
Only (near) drunk drivers can be arrested and punished before they kill. It’s for the chil’run.
Obviously!
But I wish to go one step further.
Instead of gun ban legislation, let's take the plunge.
Let's outlaw MURDER.
Oh, wait.....
More legislation!

A much more effective way is, while someone is pointing a gun at you, trying to relieve you of things of value, is just say
“Pardon me sir, may I see your permit?, I also want you to note that this whole area is a gun free zone and we have voted this county to be a Nuclear Free zone”.
Now, if I were a criminal, it would surely dispatch me with abandon.
At my VFW Post we had a NE Liberal from Mass, besides that he was a drunk - one of those stand up functioning drunks - (Like I was for years) that was VERY anti-personal gun.
He maintained that anyone who carried concealed was a threat to everyones safety and I told him ‘Yes, Joe, especially those in your condition’ (this was after I stopped drinking).
He had threatened a couple of us carriers (non drinkers) with calling the police on us and I just casually mentioned that, from experience, he was much more of a threat to society leaving in his ‘condition’ (drunken stupor)than a sober person with a license to carry.
Several times I promised him that with his true distaste for guns etc, that if I ever saw him being held up etc, I would be sure to call 911 and NOT step forward to help him.
And he was the typical ‘target’....old, heavy, slow moving, head down, shuffling along etc...
Now I am old, heavy, NOT so slow moving, head up - look everyone in the eye, not to the point of staring etc, and walk with purpose, Oh yes, I have at least one friend in my pocket and usually one in my sock and I have set a limit how far some will go accosting me - realize once it is out and aimed, chances are it is going to go ‘boom’ sorry, I must state that I will be the cause of it going ‘boom’.
Like the police were called to an old Lady’s home and they found 5 rifles, 4 or 5 hand guns, a lot of ammo, couple of shot guns.
One of the young ‘idealistic’ cops said “Maam why so many guns, what do you think you are afraid of”
“Not a f’n thing Sonny -except maybe YOU guys”.
