See post on April 4 about "New Mexico man accused of shooting deputy claims he is Jesus"

Is he proposing background checks on LEO's to make sure they have a sufficient amount of situational awareness? That is the only thing that would have helped in this case.

Maybe he's proposing LEO not carry guns. You can't be shot with your own gun if you don't have one.

I think he believes that a criminal won't try to take the weapon if he knows he will have to wait until he passes a background check, to do so. Because criminals always obey the law.

As soon as he used the phrase " common sense" I quit reading.

His argument, just like these of left wing gun grabbers, assumes an immediate inability of people to exercise a Constitutional right, responsibly. The right of free speech has been used irresponsibly, as have any other right guaranteed by our founding fathers. That is no excuse to deny those rights. Just as every defendant, is innocent until proven guilty, no right should be denied someone without due process.
I understand that there are people who don't demonstrate proper gun handling skills, but no other right requires a proficiency test to be exercised. No where in the Constitution, is there a requirement to "earn" a right.
