We all heard of the scarcity of toilet paper as the pandemic hit in March. Apparently that was not the only item in demand. In early September, local, state and national headlines highlighted the record-breaking sales in firearms and ammunition. Abundant are suggested reasons for the demand.
Some cite the pandemic for the cause. That makes about as much sense as the hoarding of toilet paper. Circumstances stemming from the lockdowns caused by the virus may be more credible. Others point out the fear for personal safety as the riots have continued to terrorize citizens across the country. |

The 'advanced' training advocated in the article is certainly a good idea. AAMOF, it's a VERY good idea.
But holding the licensed bearing of arms hostage to that level of training would be unacceptable, and probably unconstitutional. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
