Sorry, but I can't accept blanket statements like that. I am 100% positive that licened permit holders have committed violent crimes with their weapons. I will even go so far as to say that they have done it in the last couple of days.
I see this as akin to issuing a irrevokable drivers license. As anyone who's ever been in a farmers market in Florida knows, the elderly often confuse the brake and the gas pedals and go plowing through crowds. Thank you, but I'd appreciate it if there were some basic level of competency required at least every few years. Just because you're able to demonstrate that you're responsible enough to carry a gun now doesn't mean that you'll have the same ability in 2 or 3 years. This is just a bad idea.
