      At the moment, I don’t doubt it. Guys that do stupid shit like this aren’t thinking. They are letting their emotions and adrenaline do the driving. That’s why you have to hammer training into their brains. It’s not because it is complicated, its because you want it to be so natural that thought doesn’t even come into play.

        Eh, or they are and this is the emotion they want to feel, the power over others. Which makes them the wrong choice to be a cop, but the “right” choice when it comes to how most departments actually are right now.

        It’s almost as if allowing just about anyone to purchase a semiautomatic firearm is a bad idea.

        Like almost as though people have shown again and again that they should not be trusted with firearms, let alone have the ability to walk into a gun show and walk out with an AR-15 in under an hour.

        But please, everyone tell me about how this is really a mental health issue (that they also refuse to address).
