why is there always this black/white delineation made between "normal, sane, legally licensed gun owners" vs. "unstable, insane, criminals" when it comes to the gun debate?
i have a friend who is a husband and father of two and owns about 10 guns, all legally purchased and licensed. he would pass any criminal background check or mental health analysis.
he is also an ex-marine, and if you get him started about guns, you become more than a little worried about what he would do if he felt threatened. he keeps an .45 under the seat of his mini-van.
the point is, anyone can make a bad decision at any time with a firearm. bad day, middle of a divorce, just got fired, whatever...
