Then what the hell are semi-autos legal for?

They are useful in bird hunting. They have less recoil and allow you to stay on target easier by minimizing you movement.

But see the point I just made a few minutes ago :rolleyes:

Just as you're happy to venture an opinion on whether or not being stopped by the cops as a person they consider suspicious or fearsome simply because of race can be dangerous.

Quote me where I said anything like that.


You sure do like to project.

Traffic stops can be dangerous. But so can driving down the interstate.

The vast majority of traffic stops are not dangerous. That's simply statistical fact. A cop is more likely to be killed driving down the road than he or she is to be killed during a traffic stop.

Of course the vast majority are mundane.

That means a cop shouldn't have a sidearm for the dangerous ones?


Is this really your argument? Statistics?

You're going to tell a widow "It's a darn shame. I mean, statistically this shouldn't have happened. If anything, he should have died on the way to work."

I think, what is being suggested, would be in a situation where there is a call like this, it wouldn't be the unarmed patrol officers dispatched. It would some other more armed squad that is trained for that type of situation.

That's exactly what they do in the U.K.

The entire reason cops are (in some cases) so trigger happy is because our populace is so heavily armed. It always amazes me that the "Blue Lives Matter" crowd is typically the same crowd who believes that strict gun laws=evil gubmit is coming for your guns.

In a former worklife I was in daily contact with big city police and although a few were rabid gun enthusiasts (one made a point to show me his new AR-15 he had just bought which was in the trunk of his squad car), a vast majority of them were not shy about letting me know how scary it could be on the streets because so many people were armed. If we really gave 2 Sh*ts about Blue Lives we would do something to make their jobs less dangerous, and that means less guns. Period. Safer for everybody.

My understanding is most cops want gun control.

Obviously the authoritarian dweeb who loves cops when they murder black people is a Republican who has been thoroughly indoctrinated by the NRA. But those aren't cops, they're mentally deficient wannabes who also think "supporting the troops" means sending them to die for Exxon's and Lockheed's shareprice.

You would think those are equivalent statements, wouldn't you? :rolleyes:

For the record, what that lawyer said is ridiculous and awful*, even in jest, and insanely stupid for a quasi-public figure. But of course you guys will now characterize everyone who disagrees with you as being equivalent to her. Glad you got a start with me.

* I mean, Penn BA and Columbia law. Step it up a bit, honey.

Don't give people the chance to equate the two of you.
