@augieray I saw a sign the other day that said we had to support the thin blue line defending us. I wanted to spray paying "From What?" on it. What on earth are they afraid of?
@ech @augieray I'll support them when they are properly trained and stop acting as judge, jury, and executioner. A focus on solving crimes would also be nice. Being able to fire and blackball someone who killed someone in cold blood would also be a basic. Gang tattoos for your first kill should not be a police thing, and yet somehow it is. There's no reason for the police to be above the law.
And if you are going to play semantic games about types of weapons, go troll elsewhere. There is no reason for general citizens to own weapons designed for killing people (muzzle velocity, fire rate, cartridge size, bullet tumble...). If that's fine, you might as well allow hand grenades and tanks. I don't care what you call them.
@66gardeners @augieray Ah, I see he’s made a number of replies to other folks since then. Definitely either trolling or short on brains.
@ech @augieray Yes. All these people in rural states and suburbs aren't experiencing heavy crime. And the fact that so many people own a stash of multiple guns emphasizes it even more. If you're worried about self defense you want a hand gun, not an assault rifle. There's no logic involved here.
