[quote=spdrun]Uh, if someone is bent on doing something illegal, do you think they’ll be so worried about buying a gun (or fire-axe, or iron pipe) legally? Come on.[/quote]
True.. which is why I think the whole gun-control argument is stupid. If these people are law abiding, it is harder to get the weapons because they do not have the contacts into that ‘side’ of society.. but eventually they may develop them. Because they may not already have the contacts to purchase an illegal weapon, they may be trapped in a sting on illegal weapon purchases… almost like how people soliciting for murder are caught. (In a way, getting shafted twice)
[quote=spdrun]Personally, I hope that the baboons get the book thrown at them legally, so it doesn’t come to someone resorting to vigilantism.[/quote]Ditto..
[quote=spdrun]Lastly, why does it always seem to be a dept in California? From what I read, LAPD, Oakland, and BART-PD have 2x to 3x the officer-involved shooting rate of the NYPD.[/quote]I don’t know about the numbers.. I have always heard that NYPDs rate is higher. Either way, any abuse of authority by law enforcement is extremely wrong and should be dealt with very severely.
