turtlespeed 221 #1 December 28, 2012 Shooting inside police station QuoteDuring an impromptu press conference, Chief Harry Earle told the media that the incident occurred around 5:30 a.m. inside the building when a suspect being taken into custody for a domestic violence-related incident got into a confrontation with officers. The suspect was able to take a firearm and opened fire on the officers. That's obviously the answer.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pteropus 0 #6 December 28, 2012 Quote However, it does re-enforce the difference between a mad-man shooting in an area where everyone is armed and an area where no one is armed. How far did he get? Three officers wounded, two with only minor injuries. Shooter quickly killed by return fire. Quite a difference from the high body counts of mass shooters in no-gun zones...

Would have been NO injuries if madman had not been able to access the gun in the first place. So don't arrest him and take him to jail? just let him be? (I jest, I know that is not what you meant) It appears to be a bit of a lapse in procedure, allowing the Criminal a chance to try and fight his way to a life on the run. He failed in the end.

How would you propose to resolve that? Not allow Officers to have guns? Second: With an Estimated 270,000,000 guns currently being owned by law abiding citizens, how would you propose to keep them out of "the wrong hands?" Repeal the 4th Amendment and go door to door taking everyones guns?"There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

masterrig 1 #12 December 29, 2012 If, Feinstein has her way, that's what we're looking at. I still want to know, who does she have in mind to take the guns from the gangs and other criminals? The woman lives in a damned bubble and has absolutely no grasp on reality. I don't think her bill has a snowball's chance in hell of passing. Simply because, there are too many politicians who like to hunt, own and carry, including her (carry). Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
