Dumbass police chief open mouth, inserts foot

If we are going to use a health care analogy, then everyone who has never owned a gun needs to report to the nearest gun store to purchase a small gun. Once they have it in their house for some defined period of time without any violence, we can be certain that the home is inoculated from any future strains of gun violence.

And since we are working under the government provided health care analogy, the Police Chief should be purchasing these guns for people based on their means to pay.

Inoculation is an EXCELLENT analogy. All kids and parents should be required to go through some form of firearm safety training by 6th grade. Parents should be required to keep at least one firearm at home in a safe manner. They can start small with BB gun then upgrade to a single-shot .22 LR rifle then progress toward magazines followed by handguns and shotguns and/or larger calibers. History has shown kids who grow up with a tool and who learn respect for that tool are less inclined to misuse it or have safety issues.

It's for the kids and it's progressive, just like starting off with MMR vaccinations then moving up to TB/polio, Hep-A, etc.
