Guns don't kill people, California cops do !

Post by mistermack » Fri Feb 08, 2013 4:28 pm

The "highly-trained" gun-totin LAPD have tried to kill three people who's cars looked like the one belonging to a fugitive.
Thus disproving the old NRA claim that people just need better training to handle guns safely.

In their hunt for Christopher Dorner, ( also a "highly-trained LAPD cop " until recently ) they have so far shot at three innocent people, injuring two.

Dorner has gone off the rails, and killed some people, and threatened to kill more.
He must be loving it that the frenzied LAPD are helping him out so enthusiastically.

It's all down to a lack of guns !!!

It's a clique thing. They've mostly migrated to facebook. Soon the non-clique will inherit Rationalia.

Lesson learned - do not let the police have guns. :coffee:

They're obviously scared shitless of Dorner. The point MM makes still stands though - if highly trained police officers crack under stress like this and shoot innocents, how would private citizens perform?

Seth thinks this is proof positive of his philosophy that everyone should wear body armour and carry AR-15s. I can only imagine the havoc and death toll that would result.

Dorner's manifesto shows he is really not a bad guy after all:
Anti-NRA:

Wayne LaPierre, President of the NRA, you’re a vile and inhumane piece of shit. You never even showed 30 seconds of empathy for the children, teachers, and families of Sandy Hook.

Loves Piers Morgan:

…give Piers Morgan an indefinite resident alien and Visa card. Mr. Morgan, the problem that many American gun owners have with you and your continuous discussion of gun control is that you are not an American citizen and have an accent that is distinct and clarifies that you are a foreigner. I want you to know that I agree with you 100% on enacting stricter firearm laws.

As I remarked in the other thread, where the two women were shot mistakenly was in my hometown. :?

I still don't get how they were shot mistakenly. More details are needed. The news reports I have seen have been sketchy. What did they do? Just shoot up the truck?

A bit more info from the local rag: http://www.dailybreeze.com/news/ci_2254 ... ening-fire

Apparently 2 LAPD were protecting a police captain's house when the newspaper carriers stopped on their rounds in a similar vehicle to that of Dorner.

It's clear that the general public is in more danger from the LAPD than they are from a crazy killer.

If it weren't for the publicity surrounding this case, this little shooting would have got very little publicity.
It makes you wonder just how many of police killings are actually just similar wanton shootings by dumb cops.

Anyway, it's equally obvious that the public should be more scared of legal guns than criminal ones.

Even assuming that this nonsense were true, so? Then obviously the first thing we ought to do is disarm the police.
