Gun owners who buy such things for "protection" without putting the time in to train themselves under actual conditions are essentially the same as guys who buy karate black belts from the internet. Sounds good until some bad juju goes down and their monkey brain just short circuits in the normal "oh god this isn't happening/wait this is happening/oh god not me/oh shit i got a gun somewhere/fuck where is it/oh shit i think i'm peeing" cycle
There's a reason the military spends lots of money training soldiers to be psychologically capable of pulling a trigger in a high stress situation. Just buying a gun, a subscription to Guns N' Ammo and camo underpants just doesn't cut it.

- Honestly it just makes sense. A small measure of control without depriving people of their 'rights'.ETM
