We’ve had a couple of bank robberies where the perps are wearing heavy body armor and have much higher fire power in their gns.
A local gn store just handed guns over the counter to help the police. The police should be able to protect themselves from criminals.
That was 30 years ago or so. LAPD has been “up gunned” since that mess.
I won't argue that point.
But the topic is whether law-abiding citizens should be able to protect themselves.
Do you have a problem with that? Do you want to take body armor away? I mean, if protection is such an important concept ...
I don’t have a problem with the police protecting them selves from the bad guys, but don’t I have the same right to protect myself?
Oh; just to remind you of the facts, California has had only one incident of this type of fire fight in it’s history, the Hollywood shoot out.
Doing so for ordinary citizens threatened by a rampaging mob is a felony. I'd have made them wait 7 days.
The police should be able to protect themselves from criminals.
We should be able to protect ourselves from criminals and police.
As another poster upthread mentioned, we should be able to get anything the police can.
