Quote:That's not even close to what I said. I said I don't trust the average american to BE properly trained or safe with fire arms. 

If the average American wants to legally own and carry a firearm, they need to be properly trained in order to receive their permit in every state that has concealed or open carry laws. 

 

Again, I rarely hear about incidents involving people who legally own their firearms.  It does happen, but when you consider the number of guns that are out there currently vs. the number of incidents involving those legally owned guns, it's almost non-existent. 

 

More often than not, as has been proven again in Ferguson, those who do own and responsibly manage their firearms can serve as a deterrent.  There's a reason some stores weren't looted during all of this nonsense.
