G'day all
This topic is a continuation of Australian Posters which was shifted to Civil Rights.
It probably won't last long here. I'm sure the moderators will want to close off the topic - but - To the moderators - this is NOT a Civil Rights issue. This is a discussion about the health and safety of LEOs, and the fact that as cops, we should always advocate reducing gun ownership for our own benefit. This is a General Discussion Topic.
You seppos always amaze me. It's probably too late to change the mess that you have over there - purely because there are so many people who would defend there right to carry firearms. And yet, if there was no right to bear arms, and any firearms were strictly licensed and controlled, then you would have a whole lot less schoolyard massacres, drive-by shootings, whackos hidden out in them thar hills just waiting to defend their g****m right to bear arms and shoot LEOs trying to do their job.
You would have less cops shot in domestics, less cops shot while doing traffic stops, less cops shot arresting druggies, less cops shots in just about any law enforcement situation.
You would also have a whole lot less trigger happy cops (with good reason), an unfortunate percentage of whom are going to shoot some poor bastard in the wrong place at the wrong time. There would be less cops undergoing counselling for shooting and killing another person, be they an offender, adult, juvenile or an innocent bystander.
And Artie - sorry I wasn't around during other discussions.
I'm a bit like Rule. I used to own a couple of rifles many years ago - until I had kids and made the decision that there would be no guns in the house that might lead to an accident. Of course the seppos can't make a decision like that, because there is some other idiot out there who also has a gun.
