It’s almost as if allowing just about anyone to purchase a semiautomatic firearm is a bad idea.
Like almost as though people have shown again and again that they should not be trusted with firearms, let alone have the ability to walk into a gun show and walk out with an AR-15 in under an hour.
But please, everyone tell me about how this is really a mental health issue (that they also refuse to address).
Law Enforcement, remember this article is about a Cop, isn’t “just anyone”. There’s two reasons for people being riled up about this, one of which is criminal and the other is user error / training.
Ignoring the criminal aspect of what he’s doing the Cop literally cannot fire that weapon without endangering himself and his fellow officers. He also can’t fire that weapon a second time without manually manipulating it because he’s using it in a manner that WILL cause it to mechanically malfunction.
It’s fucking stupid (and criminal) all the way around but it has nothing to do with the points you are making.
