That's why you do background checks and give law abiding citizens proper training so they aren't trigger happy, in the U.S it could also help community ties with the police if they acted as instructors, but of course you only want a total ban on guns don't you?
It's sad that even in the face of total destruction there are people who believe that what they want is the only option available.
Background checks probably wont stop crazy or mentally disturbed people getting them and police have extensive training yet use them when they're not needed or as a first line of defense and so will citizens with or without training.
Welcome to the real world, why is it when they're wearing a uniform you feel so much more trusting? Also background checks would help a lot, but people like you just aren't interested in anything else than a total ban on firearms.
Welcome to the real world where we don't need guns, but people like you need them because they feel defenseless without them. And where did I say I was trusting of police? I said the opposite. I don't trust them to have guns.
So who the hell is going to stop the criminals and rampaging lunatics then? Magic fairies? Also, even Plato warned against soldiers becoming too powerful for the citizenry.
Every care must be taken that our auxiliaries, being stronger than our citizens, may not grow to be too much for them and become savage tyrants instead of friends and allies. - Plato
Edit: It's fucking normal that I'd feel defenceless in a real combat situation where everyone else has guns, if you don't in a situation like that there's something wrong with you
