Hero NYC Cop Killed By Our Mania Over Guns

We can't even surveil suspected terrorists but he wants every single person and home searched for guns?

Or maybe he thinks all the guns will be turned in for a coupon to buy new sneakers.

Remember, doctors only have a license to practice. There is no guarantee of proficency.

(Let me get this straight: the shooting occurred in the city and state with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country and "Dr Demento" here thinks the problem is not enough gun control? )


This thinking is consistent with the Liberals' MO. Every time their policies don't work, they want more of the same. When welfare doesn't work, it's because we're not spending enough money on it. If public schools don't work it's because we're not spending enough money on it. If taxes rise and they choke the economy, they want to raise taxes more to make up for loss of tax revenues. If a toll increase makes people take other routes, they raise the tolls to make up for the short fall. If gun control doesn't work, they want to increase it. When an increase in the minimum wage predictably raises unemployment, they want to increase the minimum wage further...

The man is a retard with the initials MD after his name, but his retarded opinion is one the the NYC media agrees with so he gets a forum to display his ignorance for all to see..

Minor nit.

The President isn't involved in a constitutional amendment. Just Conggress and the states.

[Pharmboy]

...and, one of the highest murder rates in the country is Washington, DC, with the strictest gun laws in the country. Hey doc--Disarm the criminals and leave us citizens alone! Doesn't that make more sense?

[babygene]

Did they explain what heroic deed was attributed to this cop?

Your figure of 100 million guns is way off I believe. The number is more in the order of 300-500 million, and that is only the legal ones. No one really knows because there were no records kept until the last part of the 20th century.

[B4Ranch]

We tried that and found killing babies is a necessity in modern day womens lives today. Your next idea is?

[Sir Gawain]

Blah blah blah blah

[Age of Reason]

But when the whole country is deluged with guns, and when people can buy guns very easily in Florida, Georgia, and Virginia and bring them up here, they're much too easily available

Sure--they bring them up here to commit crimes because citizens are better armed in Florida, Georgia, and Virginia.

Hey doc, Keep your draconian laws to your own state.

Reminds me of the question, "What do you call the guy/girl who graduates in last place in medical school?" answer: Doctor

The scumbag sped through a red light, and this officer pursued him. As he pulled along side of him, the scumbag shot at him five times. One of the bullets went in through his armpit and penetrated the officer's heart. Despite the wound, the officer followed the scumbag's car, for another block and a half, to a garage where he abandoned it and took off on foot.

The officer radioed in the location of the car before collapsing from his wounds. The car led to the suspect, who was found in his girlfriend's apartment a few minutes after the officer died.

This is, of course, a deliberate lie on the good doctor's part. I'm sure he is fully aware that one has to have a driver's licence for the actual state in which the sale takes place to purchase a handgun. A new yorker just can't come to GA or Fl and buy a gun from a licensed dealer.

Mayor Blooming-idiot lamented about the TWO lives lost when a killer entered City Hall with a gun and shot dead a council member. Then an armed guard shot the killer dead.

Blooming-idiot equated the two deaths.

He couldn't see why anyone needed to be carrying a gun.

I kid you not.

[from occupied ga]

I kid you not.

I know - I remember the news coverage at the time.

[dead]

You're right. Thanks.

Guns are not the problem. Get the criminal gangs off the streets. They are the principal misusers of weapons of various types to further their criminal behavior. Guns are the best defense for the average person to even the odds against criminals walking the streets.

Idaho has a great CCW law. Lots of people carry and firearm oriented assaults are extremely rare.
