I prefer gun owners/users to be competent and well-trained citizens but I'm a little nervous about the word "selected". Who is doing the selecting?

... It's the criminals who own the guns ILLEGALLY that made public think banning guns will fix it. We can't even own stun gun or pepper spray especially in NY. How are we supposed to defend ourself? call 911? by the time they come, you're already dead. in fact - cops are not obliged by laws to rescue you.
