I'm not dead. That's really the point, isn't it. You're suggesting that if the person were a different person that fit into your assertion of criminality, then I would have died. Most criminals don't decide 'that a witness might be a bad thing'. Most do their thing and leave. The statistics probably agree with me, if you want to look them up.

You don't think soldiers and police officers are trained to use guns?

I'm afraid you came in late in the conversation we were having about making gun training mandatory in schools.
Also, the founding fathers bit is just further rhetoric. I'll ask you again: present me with evidence that the founding fathers wanted mandatory gun classes in schools.
