    Sure. We really need parents teaching their kids about guns and gun safety from a young age. Maybe have marksman classes in school like shop class. We also need to get back to getting shot when you think you’re going to hold somebody at gunpoint. Problem would sort itself out right quick.

      ‘Gun pointed at you? Just shoot back first!,’ says man suffering personal fable of invincibility.

      You want bad things for dumb reasons. I’m not sure words can help. You aren’t even listening to yourself.

        Did I say you could? Most stick-ups happen with others around or have some indication like masks. If the store owner is prepared or a bystander doesn’t just stand by it’s a problem that is solved by the fear of death.
