(3,891 posts)In Georgia, they spend roughly six months training police officers. Afterwards, they spend hours every year retraining them on among other things, drawing their weapons and shooting. Yet Police Officers still get shot, and die. President Reagan and James Brady got shot, and they were surrounded by the most highly trained police force in the world all of whom were prepared for just that incident. So the argument that if you have a gun hidden under your shirt or whatever makes you able to defend against any violence is asinine.
The only way is to eliminate the guns, the ability of someone to harm someone else at a distance. Granted there would still be crossbows, or other types of weapons with projectiles of some sort. But they would be large, slow, and impossible to conceal. For some reason, this basic logic escapes so many.
