These cops should be fired, get no pay or severance, and be charged with attempted murder. These pigs are idiots who are dangerous!

you don't count. you are in Europe.
Yes, why on Earth would we follow a more civilized group of Nations.
because we are America. we don't want, nor need, to follow anyone.
we aren't idiots and think that mentally unstable people should be allowed to own a firearm. sure they have a right to, but there are laws that restrict that because they aren't fit enough because THEY ARE MENTALLY UNSTABLE.
do you know who the militia in the USA is composed of? the organized militia, and the reserve militia. the reserve militia are all able bodied men between 17 AND 45 who are not a part of the National Guard and the Naval Militia.
the Bill of Rights are amendments to the Constitution. the right to keep and bear arms is never mentioned in the original Constitution.
Too bad a minimum IQ requirement is not mandatory in order to possess a gun.
AND in the ORIGINAL constitution it was a RIGHT to OWN SLAVES...so what's your point.
Slavery is seen in the Constitution in a few key places. The first is in the Enumeration Clause, where representatives are apportioned. Each state is given a number of representatives based on its population - in that population, slaves, called "other persons," are counted as three-fifths of a whole person. This compromise was hard-fought, with Northerners wishing that slaves, legally property, be uncounted, much as mules and horses are uncounted. Southerners, however, well aware of the high proportion of slaves to the total population in their states, wanted them counted as whole persons despite their legal status. The three-fifths number was a ratio used by the Congress in contemporary legislation and was agreed upon with little debate.
In Article 1, Section 9, Congress is limited, expressly, from prohibiting the "Importation" of slaves, before 1808. The slave trade was a bone of contention for many, with some who supported slavery abhorring the slave trade. The 1808 date, a compromise of 20 years, allowed the slave trade to continue, but placed a date-certain on its survival. Congress eventually passed a law outlawing the slave trade that became effective on January 1, 1808.
The Fugitive Slave Clause is the last mention. In it, a problem that slave states had with extradition of escaped slaves was resolved. The laws of one state, the clause says, cannot excuse a person from "Service or Labour" in another state. The clause expressly requires that the state in which an escapee is found deliver the slave to the state he escaped from "on Claim of the Party."
The Constitution is a living document and it evolves but then again they probably typed in on their I-phone ver 0.1
Try not to cherry pick the parts you want and the version you want because sometimes when you pick cherries you can fall out of the tree.
So then YOU have NO PROBLEM with MUSLIMS buying up all the guns/ammo? It is their RIGHT, correct?
cops cannot be everywhere and they are not for personal protection. Nor can they always respond fast enough to save you or your family. What about someone who is disabled? Elderly? A lone female, or just a guy who is outnumbered by gang bangers? They and everyone has the right to defend themselves. But if you really feel that only cops should have guns then you may want to leave the USA because it is a right here. My gun has twice saved my life. My neighbor saved his families lives when he shot an intruder in his yard one night. People now a days just wont rob you and take your money and leave you alone. mentally ill and drug addled perps as well as 13 year old gang bangers have no regard for your life or that of your families.
These a some of my thoughts, like I said it is a right in our country, and the most important imho. Otherwise a corrupt government can take control of it's people less they be armed. The first Ammendment and all others would be null and void.
Ps Our Constitution is not a living document as much as some would like, and it never said we could own slaves.
We also already have laws restricting who can own guns, mentally ill, felons and others are already excluded. In fact there are thousands of laws restricting gun ownership.
crime happens everywhere. you do not need to be in a bad area for a crime to happen to you. if you think otherwise, you are clueless.
