Another Idiot in Mumbai gives us a bad name

Yesterday a stupid moronic idiot got into an altercation with a BEST bus driver, pulled out his gun and fired in the air then fled. There are reports of him having even threatened the conductor and passengers.

He has been charged with attempt to murder.

Now BEST drivers are among the worst lot of drivers around here but this stupid act will make it more difficult for genuine AL applicants for a few months at least.

One must remember that this incident could very well have taken place in any big city or metro where people have bigger egos than the guns they carry. Lets look at this in perspective..there are people who get their licenses for fire arms to protect themselves if they are so called 'under threat'. That simple logic proves that they have also done something wrong or are involved in something unpleasant . These guys should never be given licenses. Let them pay the government for an armed guard. The authorities unfortunately never look into the background of a person from a psychological perspective. They just look at the financial and criminal perspective. If there is some serious psychological screening done then hopefully those people like us will someday be able to own multiple weapons of varying caliber because we love the weapons, store them responsibly and most of all understand the grave and negative implication of misuse. Lets say tomorrow a rich kid in a sports car knocks down a man with who he's had an argument. That makes the car a weapon....so now one would need a licence to own a sports car!!!

His licence should be revoked period.... a good enough case for doing so

Revocation of license will probably be the least of his worries right now. He has been charged with attempt to murder.
