Unfortunately, there are legislators who think like Illahee.
Florida state Sen. Audrey Gibson (D-Jacksonville) introduced the bill on Saturday, which stipulates ammunition purchasers must go through a three-day waiting period to buy any ammo if they have not completed anger management courses. The bill would mandate that ammo buyers take the anger management course every 10 years.
Of course, Gibson claims that her legislation will keep police officers and the public safe.
“This is not about guns,” she told Fox News. “This is about ammunition and not only for the safety of the general community, but also for the safety of law enforcement.”
With ammunition prices soaring due to talk of gun control, many gun owners have been purchasing ammunition in bulk to prepare for shortages. Gibson said this really concerns her.
“It’s about getting people to think, really, about how much ammunition they need,” Gibson added. “It’s a step, I think, in a safer direction. It’s about getting people to think before they buy.”
I only think like I have been trained, assault weapons require training and certification to safely operate, putting potentially devastating power into untrained hands is a recipe for disaster, as we have seen over and over again.
Just as an FYI, In 2011, more murders were committed by knives (1,694), hands, fists and feet (728) and blunt weapons such as clubs and hammers (496), according to FBI data (323 total with All rifles (including ARs, Hunting rifles, etc)
As I asked before, how many crimes do you think your proposed training program would prevent? (Numbers, percent decrease, etc would be helpful descriptive things to back up your claim, feelings etc... Not so much)
