The cop who was shot and killed today was a fully trained police officer with a firearm and he still got shot dead. Having a firearm doesn't mean you'll be protected, able to get the first shot off, or that you'll even see it coming.

I love the gun nuts who say "Well, if there was someone in the theatre it would have ended different". No, not really. Lots of people would have died. Anyone who thinks the average armed civilian is going go from eating popcorn to taking on an unknown amount of shooters in a dark movie watches WAY too much fucking TV>

Yet another example of the news media worldwide becoming a complete joke.....

Police would stop carrying guns if they were as ineffective as you claim. Nobody is saying that having a gun means you're 100% protected. That is a ridiculous statement. Having a gun will not prevent some nut from sneaking up from behind and popping you in the head. Yes, that is true. :pimp

However, in other situations having one will give you a better chance against an attacker than mere fisticuffs alone. I think the average cop would agree with that, otherwise they would proceed to hand over their useless firearms.

So I guess everybodies wife and child is one screwball away from being murdered in a hail of armor piercing bullets fired from an assault weapon purchased legally and with a background check, online, or at a gun show.

Great point. If something can't protect you 100% of the time, might as well not use it at all. Condoms only reduce risk of HIV by 80-95%, so why not start fucking HIV infected hookers bareback? :thumbsup

How about phoning up your local police department and asking why they insist on carrying these worthless lumps of metal around with them?

I am sorry if the US frightens you. Spend your tourist dollars elsewhere.
