scares me to death.In Norway cops don't wear guns on a regular baisis.They only bring out the big guns in situations where there might be weapons inwolved. I've been in a couple situations where I've had cops pointing guns at me,and it just freaks me out. I've always found myself thinking that why are theese gigantick cops pointing their guns on littleold me? Guns must be one of the humanrace most evil devices,don't u think???
A gun is an inanimate object. IMO It is not good or evil. What mankind chooses to do with this object is what is evil . . . or good, depending.
To have one pointed at you is unnerving, I agree.
I think guns are great beautifully in fact one of the few things that involves science and art to a point literally. but I do see your point of whys re they pointing their guns on defenseless me. there is something called a force continuum worth some research, and once you know what it is most cops don't
heh can't imagine a land without cops with gins ;) I see this one the regular here..
If someone points a gun at you then in the eyes of the law you have just been assualted and have the right to respond with deadly force don't matter if its cop either
I'm not sure how much weight your argument would carry in a court of law. :DQuote:

I'm pretty sure that guns are here to stay as they are so deeply woven into the frabric of America.
Happy 4th of July! :s4:
If they waited until then we would be paying for a lot of cop funerals. This isn't the day of the quick draw, my friend. If you aren't ready going in, you'll probably end up being carried prone when you leave.Quote:

cops with guns are a very tender subject, especially here in America. with our right to bear arms being such a practiced right in many ways, it does put the police at a disadvantage in the sense that someone is allowed to own almost any weapon, depending on the means by which it was acquired. And many people the police are about to use almost deadly force upon are almost always breaking the law and could have any type of weapon to their advantage.
that said, last year there were 5 people killed by cops, and 4 of which seemed like they were times in which non lethal force was a not only acceptable, but practical, and effective measure against the guilty parties. One in particular, was on foot, and was only wielding a pair of scissors while on drugs. this man could have been apprehended without being shot at all, especially with 9 other cop units providing backup to the one who shot.
but there have been shootouts, like the LA bank robbery, so there needs to be a practical response to these situations in a quick manner, but to the degree that the police are really wannabe soldiers, and take their aggressions and horomones out on unsuspecting victims many times.
I'm more scared of the impressionable children in church.Quote:

My dad taught me to never point your weapon at anything that you don't intend to kill.
He also taught me that if you ever get in a fire fight to keep your freakin head down!
LOL...sweet.:)Quote:
