Untrained? Not really. He can fire more bullets per minute, but can he hit what he's aiming at? Aslo, can't you see that 1 properly placed bullet from a covered and concealed position at the right person is going to cause more damage than a full mag at just whoever?
The presidents children go to a school that has private armed guards, and they have armed Secret Services agents 24/7. Feinstein carried a gun until she was provided with armed security. Fat fuck commie director was just involved in an arrest for an illegal firearms issue. No sir, these people don't want all the guns, just ours. They constantly write themselves out of enforcement of the very laws they create, forming a political class that is above the law. Look at Obamacare if you need confirmation of this. Stop allowing knee jerk reactions to horrible, yet basically unimportant incidents like in CT. If anything that should have been an indictment against the pharmacutical and mental health industries in this nation. We do not blame cars or booze for DUIs. We blame the individual who carried out the illegal act. Why is this any different, other than the fact that you have no enumerated right to drive?
