''They don't think that putting more weapons out on the street is the way to solve crime.''

NOTICE THIS SENTENCE. He is not thinking about preventing crime. He is thinking about

SOLVING

crimes.

Before you can solve a crime it must be committed. And if is is commiteed on you, you are the victim.

He is saying that you haveing a gun, does not help him catch your killler.

But if you have a gun you will not be killed.

The cops are concerned about catching killers... not keeping you alive.

Cops are not even required to put themselves in danger trying to save your life. We are on our own out here folks, by the time you reach for your cell phone most crimes against you have been committed. Should you get off a call to police ten minutes is the arrival time, and if the police consider the situation hot, they will not come in to see how you are doing fighting off your attacker. I'll take my chances protecting myself if no one likes that idea they can go spit.

[the irate magistrate]

You are so correct!

[lavaroise]

America is sliding toward general welfare mentality. It starts by people not taking care of their own safety by buying a gun, and then it goes into not wanting to feed themselves well by using public housing and going on food stamps instead of working.

Good observations.
