The Lt. Governor, Justin Fairfax, is just as bad on guns as Northam. Actually, Northam staying in office, politically wounded, would tend to stymie his massive antigun initiatives during the rest of his term. He would be busy trying to rehabilitate his reputation.
No, not for everyone. Now, anyone would benefit from training.
If my 77yo mother can keep all her shots center mass with her 38Spl and 9mm at 7 yards, that will most likely be enough to defend herself in her house.
There are countless people with guns and a minimum of practice that have successfully defended their lives and others from threats. May not be ideal but, that is how it is for some.
I would guess that gun owners with formal gun class training are the 98-99th percentile of owners. Everybody would benefit from Skip Barber's driving school but few will take the classes. Are the drivers who don't irresponsible drivers? I'd say no, they just aren't as highly trained.
Where I live, I only wish people would take Skip Barbers driving class. Safety means nothing to the vast majority of car drivers on the road. Text messaging is rampant, as just one example.Most of them will have to take a mandatory driving class only after they caused a accident.
And your comment "There are countless people with guns and a minimum of practice that have successfully defended their lives and others from threats" may be true, I do not know, but on the other hand, I wonder how many untrained or minimal training folks have killed themselves or others. I would bet there are more in the latter.
You cannot take back a bullet.
