The government has most Americans so afraid to even touch a firearm, they pass out at the sight of a firearm, they become fodder for any whack-job with a firearm hell bent of murder!
More Americans need to train with a firearm of their choice daily. Use a combat training situation, practice makes perfect. Train under pressure, the same pressure you would be under in any mass shooting incident an American may find themselves in.

I find that a pistol with an integrated laser greatly reduces the need for practice. You can add an aftermarket laser but that introduces a small error due to parallax.
