Law Enforcement Think Tank Gives 9 Key Recommendations On How To Prevent 'Gun Violence'

Town hall ^ | 6/10/18 | beth baumann

All LE fantasies.

The answer isn’t LE.

They’re a hammer and see everything as a nail.

[CodeToad]

LE has failed the people time and time again.

The answer isn’t LE.

[FXRP]

Number nine is the whole purpose of these “recommendations.”

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Your point is well taken. But, this was Kalifornia, after all.

If this is as simple as requiring that the buyer show a carry permit at time of purchase, fine.

Not fine with me. The 2nd amendment doesn't say:

The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed except for people without carry permits.

When I was in high school and college you could buy guns through the mail or at most hardware stores, and I can't recall ANY school shootings.

[rktman]

Looks like a list of the usual dumbassery. Need to teach kids right from wrong, that actions have consequences, how to deal with losing, how to deal with rejection and no more ‘everybody gets a trophy’ crap. And this still won’t stop it. There are just some folks that are evil.

[fruser1]

There’s only one thing required:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

[ealgeone]

Australia has everything the Left wants in gun control as does Europe. Both areas have been subjected to mass shootings in the past two months.

Assume all of these were to be passed....bad guys will do what terrorists are doing in Europe: turn to other weapons.

Knives, trucks, acid, etc.

[rktman]

Probably (s)elected cops who want to make the public “feel” they are “doing something”. After scanning the suggestions, it appears they believe in futther infringing. Oh, and it’s NOT gun violence. Fidiots.

It isn't just the peoples' republic of kalifornistan. Read some of the horror stories from NJ e.g. this

[unread]

"Connecting guns helps to solve crimes and prevent future offenses."

What a crock.... It takes a perp and his lawyer no time flat to have them right back out in the street... That's how you get a-holes with rap sheets as long as your leg...

The REAL money in crime is made at the courthouse.. :(

[Petrosius]

Law enforcement thinks a tank gives the keys recommendation on how to prevent gun violence? Cool:

[drpix]

One item - not highlighted in red - is the key to the entire story: "The Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), a Washington-based think tank, on Friday released..."

Looking up PERF, we find it was founded by Patrick V Murphy, who was NYC Police Commissioner under the infamous mega-liberal mayor John Lindsey. Murphy under Lindsey coddled the lawless while disarming the law-abiding and handcuffing the police. Their liberal philosophy of public safety opened the doors in the early 1970s for the decades long massive crime wave that swept US cities.

Fans of old crime/police movies should know that Murphy was one who abolished the traditional police shooting "fleeing felon rule." (Years later a liberal SCOTUS made that national law to the joy of criminals and lawyers nationwide.)

[jimbug]

The focus is, once again, on the wrong thing. The police have already bought into the communist agenda by using their language--gun violence--which on its face is a manufactured term that is designed to do one thing--disarm the public.

Disarming the public is usually the first step in establishing a dictatorship.

Guns are a tool, a tool that was necessary in the minds of our Founding Fathers to retain the Republic that God gave us through their hands, their blood and their fortunes.

No one wants to identify the real problem: a disavowal of God, His claim on our lives and our country and the blessings America have enjoyed as a result of His beneficence.

National repentance and revival are required, which will lead to a radical transformation of our schools, intolerance for evil (pornography, so-called same sex marriage, etc.).

Without this, you can kiss America goodbye.

Think about what you just wrote. Why would not charging someone make the news at all? How would a reporter know what to write about if charges aren’t pressed in the first place? Do you think reporters follow officers around and document everything that they do or don’t do? Officers routinely exercise discretion and don’t charge crimes that could be crimes. You would never hear about it if n the news because no charges were filed to report on.

[Yo-Yo]

No new laws are necessary. All that is required is to enforce the existing laws.

[IronJack]

Nothing new here except the packaging. It’s still the same old box of gun-control bull splat.

You would never hear about it if n the news because no charges were filed to report on.

Valid point. Let me rephrase: When have you read about police refusing to follow orders to confiscate firearms. That WOULD make news.

[Tench_Coxe]

Item 1 is the true aim, a gun registry-who has them, what type, etc.
Bill Nelson of Florida is having a rare moment of honesty with his recent legislative proposal to do just that.
Make no mistake-the end game is confiscation, and any that tell you otherwise is lying.
Given the recent exposures of corruption in law enforcement and the DOJ, there are players at the top that are concerned with gun safety....but it is to protect themselves from the people they're abusing, not as they say, "for the children".

And hidden in the "gun storage" provision is a wide open door to violations of the 4th amendment. You're only one itinerant politico away from having surprise spot inspections to make sure your "guns are stored safely".

Let's stop beating around the bush. What these people are trying to do is codify tyranny that they've only been able to get away with at the fringes, or if they have some sort of legal fig leaf to hide behind to placate those segments of the population who aren't paying attention.

What is remarkable is that groups that put out reports like this never seem to:
1. Have identified who is supplying the funding
2. What political ties the interested parties may have
3. The histories of the parties involved

The point is that the police are not your friends, but represent the force that government uses to inflict the will and laws (no matter how insane or illogical) of the government on the populace. So those counting on gun laws not being enforced are in for a mighty rude awakening.
