I hate you, John Semmens!

The police will veto any law they don’t like like Loveland Colorado police taking the gun of a legal open carry individual. It is evident that the police have not vetoed the rites of gangsters and gang members in Chicago. Gang members continue to blast away at each other under police chief’s carry laws.

SATIRE ALERT!

GOOD ONE!

There you go...

“We maintain that the police are the only ones who ought to be allowed to arm themselves,” McCarthy argued. “They are the only people properly trained in the use of firearms. A law encouraging people to arm and defend themselves disrespects the job the police do. It also potentially complicates every confrontation.”

Right, because making sure the people who live in Englewood, Gresham and Austin neighborhoods continue to be disarmed is going to stem the gang violence .... NOT!

Gary McCarthy has become a punching bag.

[WePledge]

The line between insane truth and satire is growing blurrier by the minute!

“We maintain that the police are the only ones who ought to be allowed to arm themselves,” McCarthy argued.

SATIRE MY BEHIND!! Gary McCarthy has actually said these types of things. He's also said that anyone who conceal-carries in Chicago and attempts to defend themselves actually RISKS being shot by the Chicago Police.

You may have intended this to be satire, but because you don't really know Chicago Politics and how stupid Gary McCarthy is, you actually stumbled on the truth.

Just sayin'. (I live in NE Illinois, outside of Chicago ... trust me on this. You've hit the truth.)

[RC one]

You think it’s satire but that remains to be seen.

[Orangedog]

Waiting for a “good cop” to come along and arrest those criminal cops. Too bad there isn’t even one “good cop.” But hey, keep supporting law enforcement, you stupid f***ing sheep! They’ve got your back!

[mardi59]

Good one, just not far from the truth.

“We maintain that the police are the only ones who ought to be allowed to arm themselves,” McCarthy argued. “They are the only people properly trained in the use of firearms. A law encouraging people to arm and defend themselves disrespects the job the police do. It also potentially complicates every confrontation.”

You are so foolish to even say this, McCarthy, and worse...you let someone publish an exact quote of what you said with your name on it. You are a despot to even think that way. If you're so good at taking care of your "job", why is Illinois so corrupt and crime-ridden? Your words make absolutely no sense at all to a reasonable man.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Therefore, I am instructing them that when they arrive on a crime scene to not to hesitate to take down anyone wielding a gun.

You do that. You and every officer involved should be indicted for violation of the law, for attempted murder and/or murder as a result. YOU are not the one making the laws, McCarthy. Your "job" is to enforce the laws requested by the PEOPLE, king George.

[Walkingfeather]

Um... police state= the state is run by police.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

I realize this is satire, but it’s VERY close to the truth when talking about fascist scumbags like McCarthy and other big city police chiefs.

McCarthy once said that citizens should only be allowed to own muskets because that was the type of weapon available to the populace when the Constitution was written.

Someone or their next of kin about to hit “Idiot Cop Lotto”...

If you think about this, when confronted by an armed criminal, it likely takes the police a half and hour to an hour or more to respond, if someone calls it in.

However, this can work both ways. That is, if you are confronted by an armed criminal, and proceed to ventilate said criminal, it will likely *still* be a half an hour to an hour before the police show up.

It seems to me that some entrepreneur could make a tidy sum by arriving at a crime scene faster than police, for the purpose of spiriting away the honest citizen’s handgun for thorough disposal.

“Well, you see, officer, this deceased armed individual had interfered with me, brandishing what appeared to be a gun, when some person or person unknown shot him several times. He then asked me to hold his gun to cover him as he checked to see if the deceased man was wounded or dead. I then gave him his gun back and he said I should wait here while he notified the police. But he never came back.”

“His description? Maybe sort of middle aged; of average height and weight; middling skin color possibly white, Hispanic or a lighter shade of black; kind of mumbled when speaking so I heard no accent; wearing nondescript, sort of baggy clothing.”

Argh! John, you snare me a lot more often than I’m comfortable with.
