I will say this much tho, firing a weapon is no big deal. You load, set the safety free if there is one, aim and fire. At close range you need not be an expert to hit what you point at. The question of gang members or criminals being able to get easy access to them is in fact a mute point. They already have them. They will still not be purchasing them at the local gun shop. These are the people that always have access to weapons no mater what the law is. What gun control does is remove the right of the majority of law abiding people from having a weapon there by reducing the armed response possibility to standing up against tyranny. TMOheres a snippet from the source;
PHOENIX – Favoring the constitutional right to bear arms over others' concerns about gun safety, Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday signed into law a bill making Arizona the third state allowing people to carry a concealed weapon without requiring a permit.
if you don't need a permit, how hard would it be to just lie in the shop with a bit of false id.
and i've seen people who are new to guns take an astounding time to fire the thing. and miss a target ten foot away from them. ( (a target the size of a human being lmao) many of them like to close their eyes when the gun goes bang. most know what recoil is but don't expect it.
i know a guy who tried to commit suicide and just blew his jaw off. for a first time user it's not as easy as it seems to simply point and fire with some success at something ten feet away. as the distance grows so does the inaccuracy. after ten feet bystanders best watch their asses when a newb starts letting off.
