JCPD Chief: We Gotta Get These Guns Off Streets

[Misterioso]

Those pump-action automatics are the hardest thing to find, these days.

[Misterioso]

This is classic: "I don't know how many times a big city chief has to stand here and say we need help to stop these weapons from hitting the streets. This weapon is manufactured for no other reason than to hunt man," Comey said. "So we should stop being afraid of the NRA and start being afraid of our own rights."

Pump-Action Automatic Shotgun...shotgun most preferred by oxymorons.

JCPD Chief: We Gotta Get These Guns Off Streets

I'll take 'em.

[Cheetahcat]

Sounds like the criminals need to be taken off the streets the guns can do nothing.

Those pesky Amish guys again!!!

[Dead Corpse]

What the gibbering f**k?

We've known for a long time that most reporters just kinda make it up as hey go along. It is still startling to see proof so often though...

[Da Coyote]

Just pass laws. Those always work.

[paul51]

Officers were tracking the two people seen in a surveillance video robbing and shooting a man last month. But they said the suspects -- Hassan Shakur and Amanda Anderson -- were ready for them and armed with lethal firepower.

This isn't a gun control problem. This is a problem with poor police tactics and command. Why did they let these officers walk into such a dangerous situation? In a month they didn't have plenty of opportunity to take these guys down without a gun battle like this?

[Recon Dad]

A pump shotgun is illegal in NJ?

[Red in Blue PA]

If guns really cause crime, why aren’t there any shootings at gun shows?

And if gun free zones really worked, schools would be bastions of safety. Instead, the opposite is true.

Facts are not friends of the anti-2A people.

[Dead Corpse]

Dunno... I guess it was just the pump automatics that were double super extra-illegal.

[Jeff Head]

The chief is emotional, so I will cut him some slack. But this staement is still idotic.

"I don't know how many times a big city chief has to stand here and say we need help to stop these weapons from hitting the streets. This weapon is manufactured for no other reason than to hunt man," Comey said. "So we should stop being afraid of the NRA and start being afraid of our own rights."

How can you be afraid of your own rights Chief? Those rights are the very thing you and yours swore with an oath to defend. The NRA is also trying to protect those rights.

Criminals need to be taken down and that is what your brave officers did. Thank God they were willing. But the answer is not to be afraid of, or take every law abiding citizen's rights away because of the crinimnal actions of a few.

The answer is for those few to pay the price, the high price, up front and visible. And these did. They will never do it again.

But, even in your emotion, do not criminalize the law abiding. And I will say this directly, DO NOT THINK OF TAKING OUR RIGHTS in an attempt to forestall a few thugs.

The thugs will not obey you no matter what you do...and you do not want the law abiding to be pitted as the enemy. You definitely do not want that.

"So we should stop being afraid of the NRA and start being afraid of our own rights."

Idiot. But, he's from Jersey so I repeat myself.

jersey city......guy is still a dumbass

[Erik Latranyi]

Those pump-action automatics are the hardest thing to find, these days.

The SPAS 12 GA is a semi-automatic AND pump-action shotgun.....made famous in the first Terminator movie.

[parsifal]

I have a Belgian made Browning. I think it only holds 5 shots.

parsy, who is hanging on to it.

[bitterohiogunclinger]

“We’ve known for a long time that most reporters just kinda make it up as hey go along.”
They probably have a boilerplate paragraph that they use for every shooting story. Sounds like the police chief is an idiot as well. Not to denigrate the “boys in blue”, but if I’m “staking out” two people that are suspected of having shot and killed during armed robberies, they aren’t going to have the opportunity to raise the muzzle of the shotgun in my direction, let alone shoot 4 of my friends.

[paul51]

"All things being equal, this went according to the training that our officers get, according to God's will," said Jefferson.

Seems like a very stupid thing to say after getting your men shot up. Start screaming about guns on the streets so maybe you can deflect attention from the piss poor job you are doing
