This [is what] I was taught handling firearms in the eighties. So imagine my surprise and distress seeing the police lines during the Ferguson unrest standing or walking with their guns pointed at the crowd. One unintended discharge by law enforcement could have been disaster.

We've gone batshit bizarro regarding guns in the US.

Thank you, thats the point I'm making. Not defending the councilman, pointing out how dangerous guns are in american culture and how easy they are to acquire.
