Gun ownership should mean less need for cops. The crime rate in Detroit is falling dramatically as they have more gun owners and fewer cops.

Pretty sure police are injured at a far higher rate by their miffed mistresses than by firearms.

Most firearm deaths of police are either accidents or suicide.

The greatest cause of death for a policeman is traffic accidents wherein the policeman is at fault.

Police kill far more innocent civilians than are police killed by criminals.

“Civilian” gun ownership? The police are civilians, too.

Also, this “study” is a load of crap.

I live in Maine, with a population of about 1.2 million people, and the per-capita rate of gun ownership by citizens is through the roof in this state. Constitutional Carry goes into effect in October....Maine citizens will be able to carry a firearm on their person or in their vehicles without a permit.

I’ve been here for 23 years and I can’t recall a police officer being shot and killed in the line of duty.

If this bogus “study” was true, cops would be killed often in Maine, but they are not.

Study authors David Sewedler and David Hemenway would later admit that perhaps this homicide rate was actually driven by criminals.

YOU DON'T SAY!

More civilian gun ownership in a given area, more dead police...

Are Gang Bangers obtaining guns that they OWN legally? I think not!

Notice how they leave out the difference between Legal and Illegal gun ownership!

So here’s the deal: I would rather die with a pile of spent cartridge cases at my feet than submit to what these genocidal monsters have in mind.

This is the foundation for a multi-generational fight to disarm law-abiding Americans.

Today we’d assert that “nobody will take my weapons”, or ask “who would participate in the U.N. Army to disarm us?”.

But, what about 30 to 40 years from now?

We’ve already seen restrictions on transfer, sales, and inheritance of weapons, in certain states.

While compliance may be limited today, that will not sustain itself over time.

The tyrant always fears the slave.

That is because the tyrant does not engage in a mutually beneficial relationship with the slave. The tyrant uses the slave. He steals from the slave. The slave will eventually understand this and an armed slave is always a danger to the tyrant.

The Democrats want to dictate to you. Paying taxes can be mutually beneficial. Say for building roads or defending the country.

Paying taxes so that a Democrat politician can hand that money out to people not because they work for the government, but because they vote for the Democrat politician, is not mutually beneficial. The person paying the taxes receives no benefit in this transaction.

The Democrat politicians have thus become tyrants.....dictators. Taxes, taxation, is not a mutually beneficial exchange. It is a requirement to support tyrants.

It is slavery.

And the tyrants always fear the slaves.....especially armed slaves.

No, the tyrants need to be afraid of the taxpayers.

Maybe they should use their brains if they indeed have any.

A higher gun OWNERSHIP rate will almost always mean a higher STOLEN GUN rate. A higher ownership rate may show a correlation, but that fact is not causality.

Once again, they cannot bring themselves to blame the criminal perpetrators.

Frankly, it would be mass-murder of the citizens by our government if this were to happen.
We will not back down from a tyrannical government, no matter who, what, or where the government is located.

If guns are responsible for the homicide rate, what’s responsible for the rate of rapes? And shall Americans also be relieved of that tool?

Policing isn't as dangerous as a whole lot of every day jobs we the people do.
