I have heard people say, "Well, they ought at least to be able to strip and clean their guns." Hmmmm . . . so the problem is too many dirty guns?
Some people say they need to learn to shoot. So the problem is licensed citizens miss too many felons?
Others say, "They need to be trained in firearms safety." But firearms accidents are going down, not up.
What is the problem?
