You can't really have it both ways where cops aren't good enough to shoot when there's a threat, but they're plenty good enough to shoot before they have even identified a threat.

The long answer to this question sprawls out in a lot of different directions, with the usual culprit of American Mental Healthcare looming tall over the smoldering mounds of executed by cop or whatever nonsense the dead and the bereaved have to contribute to this national discussion.

The short answer: gently caress you. If you want the benefit of the doubt in a shootout, punch the clock and be available to take a statement at 3am when somebody steals my stereo.

how about we meet in the middle: you need a professional health screening prior to purchasing any firearm, and it has to be renewed every three years.

Cole had a very good idea.

The one loophole I see is that healthy brains still sometimes have broke brain children who will take the parent's gun and shoot their classmates.

I move that having children be included in the list of disqualifying broke-brain traits.

They don't understand the social contract and tend to act irrationally when confronted by agents of the state.
