In the aptly named Memphis neighborhood of Nutbush, Officer Calvin Taylor was shot right in the, uh, leg, by a brother officer attempting to execute a search warrant. And fight off three pit bulls at the same time. According to officer.com, an Organized Crime Unit officer (name withheld pending notification of the ASPCA) killed two of the dogs with his shotgun and then decided on bigger game forgot to consider what was beyond/next to his target. Officer Taylor is the second OCU officer recently punctuated by friendly fire. In November, Officer Willie Bryant was also shot by a brother officer while – you guessed it – trying to take out a mutt while executing a search warrant. To complete a perfect trifecta of canine gun violence, foxnews.com reports that . . .
a police pooch in Lawrence, MA, found a gun tossed into a snowbank by a fleeing gunman, and managed to shoot it. Obviously, the dog ignored Jeff Cooper’s Third Rule of Gun Safety, either because the dog can’t read or because Fido doesn’t have a finger.
Proof positive that when only police have guns, dogs will want them too.
Look at what ONE tragedy and a few politicians did to the ammo and firearm market. Now just think if this was the fuel or food crisis and how quickly that would go down hill.
This country is sitting on a fine wire… just waiting for next breeze to blow us into the abyss.
Fact is the fascist want to get ride of us we must stand against them.
The thing is, there probably never be another 9/11-style hijacking of a US airliner. Knowing what we know now, the hijackers would be overwhelmed by the passengers, knives be damned.
I still haven’t gotten past Nutbush…
Can anyone who lives CA please tell me how this loon keeps getting re – elected? Does she do anything positive? Watching her from afar for all these years, all I can think of her is she has major mental health issues, a God complex and loves control. Or are the majority of people in CA acid dropping moon bats like their governor?
We were friendly once.
What happened is all these lunatics started coming in and taking over taking advantage of the friendly folk. Now the old-timers are jaded. Especially if you’re from “away”.
The saying “no good deed…” it a Northern New England motto. You from “away” and dont know where Joe’s old goat barn used to be? Then FOAD because you cant be here for any altruistic or friendly purpose yourself.
Plenty friendly if you’re local though. I’d use the term “isolationist” rather than “unfriendly.” Southern New Englanders all seem unfriendly because they’ve been screwed their whole lives. Northern New Englanders are “isolationist” because we dont want to get screwed like the Southerners did.
This is amazing…not in a good way either! What planet do these people come from? Last time I checked Governments were the mass killers, and the only threat to freedom!
Are we supposed to believe the economy is improving, the jobless rates are down, we’re winning the war against terror, we don’t need ar-15’s with 30 round mags, women can protect themselves from rape by telling the men not to do it, tea party patriots are potential terrorists, etc. etc. etc! Because gubment officials have told us those things too!! Just saying…
I gotta say he got exactly what he deserved, kinda funny in a morbid sorta way.
How would this play with the MSM if it was reworded “Blacks are all members of street gangs and therefore are criminals and shouldn’t have weapons”???????
See a more recent post by Robert. This is already the 10 ton pink elephant in the room. Many of the anti-gun already think this, they just will not publically say it….but it is there…it is part of their fear that they do a good job of suppressing because everyone wants to be PC.
Go as far back as you want in gun control history, it has always been a theme that nobody wants to talk about
Know why you can not kick a liberal in the balls? They got no balls.
Knowing a few of the street guys, they don’t care if you have anything. As long as the admins and hair gels don’t find out, you’re all good.
Anyone else wish that there were more ammunition giveaways?
Are magazine limits legal? I heard Allan Gura at a law forum discussing the Safe Act and he specifically said that he saw the 7 round magazines limits were unconstitutional. However, he never mentioned other limits like 10 rounds or limits like in Colorado being discussed of 15 round limits.
I have also heard David Kopal argue that Magazines were invented decades ago and have long been standard for many handguns and are in “common use” Police officers carry them for the same reason that civilians do: Especially if a person is attacked by multiple assailants, there is no guarantee that a 10-round magazine will end the assault thus it’s an up hill battle for government to meet the burden of proof. So he views limits below 15 – 18 rounds and below 30 rounds for rifle as unconstitutional.
What are your thoughts on the constitutionality of magazine bans?
You have to be kidding Feinsteini? Do you realize how stupid that comment is? How on earth do you get elected?
