The funny thing about stereotypes is they are usually true.

You want everyone to walk around giving EVERYONE the benefit of the doubt?

Certain "neighborhoods" are more likely to be bad. We know this from experience.
Only an ignorant fool gives everyone the benefit of the doubt and that fool finds trouble.

I agree with you about the training.
New and old gun owners should have to go through courses and background checks continuously.

I think our youth should be in school learning real life with math, science, finances, trades etc etc etc.
They should also be learning self-defense and of course gun safety and many other topics.

No, stereotypes are usually untrue. It's the bigots who think they're true.

Agreed. Why do most pro-gun advocates disagree?

I think self defense laws for concealed/open carry cases could be justifiably relaxed if the defendant has enrolled in training programs that teach de-escalation, non-lethal self defense, and situational awareness.

You are playing word games and you obviously didn't read or understand the article.
There are tons of guns that are illegal to own.
I can't take some of my guns to California because they are illegal to possess in that state.
If you cut the barrel of a shotgun or rifle to below the minimum required by federal law, they become illegal.
If you modify an autoloader to f ...[text shortened]... a pistol with more than a 10 round capacity, it is illegal in several states.
Many other examples.
DOO, Do post facts...
This is a steaming pile of doo (pun intended)
Hey, Doo, Do we wait forever for you to post

Oh, you are talking about Utopia. Yes that would be nice.
No - he's talking about merely not living in the bullet-riddled hell hole that is your average USAnian school.

Three more today, wasn't it? Well done. But, of course, it's inevitable and he was just defending himself.
