Being awakened at night by a howling cat, before totally waking up, the cat can be blown away. Nidal Hasan bought a $1.000 rapid-fire pistol in July. Had he decided to use it before getting advanced basic training, he would have been nervous, sweaty, shaky and slowed by second thoughts.

Perhaps basic training for all should be done away with, so skilled translators, doctors etc., wouldn’t learn reflex killing, and while we are at it, when someone’s service is clearly over, they should be systematical de-conditioned so years later as an Alzheimer patient they might not be a potential menace if they see a gun, to those around them.
