The intention is to stop criminals from leaving a crime. Citizens arrests in america are a thing, and some glorify the idea.
In america, guns are tools like forks and knives. Keep em on your hip, forget they are there type of thing. Other countries would grab a bat or stick, americans grab guns. Its intimidation either way but when you mishandle a stick nothing happens.
Mishandling a firearm happens to every firearm owner at least once, and mishandling a firearm can result in unintended death and destruction.
In the US (including Colorado), citizens arrests are only legal for felonies. Last I checked hopping a fence isn’t a felony so blocking them in and waving a gun is just a multitude of gun crimes and kidnapping charges even if he didn’t shoot one of them.
I don’t think a gun should be involved in the first place. Legally speaking its possible you could argue you thought they were committing a felony. Breaking and entering us a felony in most places.
Thats all just to show how awful the system is built in America.
I don’t think waving a gun around and blocking in a car is accidental.

It sounds like the argument you made is to limit the use of firearms to reduce the amount of accidents.
Yeah that would be the very basic idea. The general population simply is not capable of handling guns on the scale it currently is.
Gun ownership needs to be based on actual need rather than fear.
