If the store owner followed the laws that people like you insisted were needed to keep us safe and we are still not safe, then HE is not the problem. Knee jerk reactionaries like you are the problem. You demand that people who follow YOUR laws are not to be trusted and must be disarmed, but nothing, NOTHING you suggest really addresses the issue which is that we do a TERRIBLE job dealing with the mentally ill and criminals.
I think there's a difference between following the letter of the law and the spirit of the law.
I would agree we do a terrible job with criminals and the mentally ill. Just not in the way you think.
Criminals, we've created a Prison Industrial Complex that locks up 2 million people and has another 7 million on probation and parole, all to feed an industry that is the worst of corporate welfare. And you guys think this is a "solution".
want to eliminate the prison population? here's my solution.
Murder----first offence------gas chamber
other felonies
first offence-----ten lashes
second offecen ----fifty lashes
third offence----gas chamber
misdemeanors
first offence---five lashes
second offence----ten lashes
third offence---fifty lashes.
no prisons needed, think of the billions we would save and the crime rate would go way down.
