John I now officially declare you a 'dick'.

I've never claimed otherwise. "Insensitive prick" would have been a bit more accurate though.

I agree with your comments but you are a senior member.

No you don't. You can disagree with John, and put him in his place, but don't call him an asshole. Just saying, Pete. ;)

Nobody's ever been able to do that. They like to THINK they have, but it actually hasn't happened.

John, our cops carry guns and they die as well, in the line of duty. Cops die, with or without guns.
Yeah, but there's no point in thinking you're making the playing field level. Bad guys don't play fair.

It most certainly does make my point. Gun control laws only disarm the law-abiding. Criminals, by their very nature, don't obey the law, so making laws concerning gun control are pointless.

The odd criminal will get and use one but that is quite rare. The Police don't want them because, generally, they don't need them.

Insensitive my dyin' redneck ass. It's a damn shame that not even the police are equipped to protect themselves. How's that? Rare? Is even ONE life worth having your natural right to self-preservation stripped away? Insensitive? I'm surprised I had to spell it out for you.

Actually, it usually works out pretty well. This is an unusual (and terrible) incident. Generally speaking the police don't need guns because the vast majority (over 99% probably) of the people neither have access to or want a gun. Even if these poor girls had been carrying it looks like it was a trap and they may still have been killed. I also know that most police in the UK don't want to carry guns since they feel that will encourage criminals to use them, so heightening the risk. Yes, some criminals do and have always carried but most don't. What's stupid is making a stupid remark with little or no knowledge and making it sound like you're crowing over their deaths because it makes your point. Shame on you.

Fix that for ya. If people would just read the 2nd Amendment, it pretty clearly doesn't put restrictions on what "arms" are, because it implies that they are current battlefield capable. That's the whole point behind "A well regulated militia".

Undeservedly, IMO, even though I'm on the "disagrees" side of the fence. I don't think you should lose an article-worth's rep over it, so I'll counter a bit.

Your interpretation.
How else would one interpret it? In order to be "well regulated", you had to have arms and training that were sufficient to enable you to successfully "provide for the security of a free State". How can that be accomplished with a single-shot .22 rifle?

That's because you guys are used to being oppressed and monitored. Only you can fix that particular problem.

What a miserable life you must have John, always trying to make sure people don't put you in your place and constantly telling us all about your endeavors and what a bad ass your are.
