What good is going to come from a man carrying a combat weapon on his back in the streets of a city in the developed world? This is not Kabul.

In order for a firearm to become dangerous, a person has to either be ignorant of safe operation, or have intent to use it on someone else, and that is why we take safety courses and go through background checks in order to be able to purchase one.

Oh yeah totally. Because a registered gun owner has never used a legally purchased gun in any crimes or murders or anything!
