Recent editorial announced that the recent gun laws are a danger to law enforcement.

http://www.timesdaily.com/opin...11-c97a50c78afc.html

 

Each of the new and present laws apply to persons who obey the law. The recent killing of two officers in Mississippi were cited as examples,  So far, four suspects were arrested for the crime. At least two of the four suspects (and the prime suspect for the actual shooting) were felons convicted of crimes of violence and drugs, Felons are not allowed to own firearms. How by any stretch of logic do new firearm laws cause more danger to the police when  those who are the danger are forbidden to own firearms. 

 

The editorial fails to`come to a logical conclusion =. 

TRUTH -- THE NEW HATE SPEECH!

Dihydrogen monoxide hoax

The dihydrogen monoxide hoax involves calling water by the unfamiliar chemical name "dihydrogen monoxide" (DHMO), and listing some of water's effects in an alarming manner, such as the fact that it accelerates corrosion and can cause severe burns. The hoax often calls for dihydrogen monoxide to be regulated, labeled as hazardous, or banned. It illustrates how the lack of scientific literacy and an exaggerated analysis can lead to misplaced fears.[1]

The hoax gained renewed popularity in the late 1990s when a 14-year-old student collected anti-DHMO petitions for a science project about gullibility.[2] The story has since been used in science education to encourage critical thinking.

==============================

Some friends heard about this in class and decided to recreate the hoax. (None were the girl mentioned above). They asked people to sign petitions to ban it's use. One girl said what they thought would be funny, or that people would know the hoax and bust them, turned out to be scary because people were signing the petition and asking very few questions. It's a good way to test people though. It's a good way to show people they need to research things.  Bet jt would have signed the petition and still be arguing that it should be banned.

The cop approaching a stopped vehicle knows that those laws apply to "persons who obey the law." 

 

He also knows that they apply to violence-prone persons who are prone to disobey the law, even though they are not yet convicted felons, enabling them to legally open-carry a loaded gun on the car seat next to them--without breaking the law, but with enhanced opportunity to deliver deadly force to the officer.

 

Have you asked any law enforcement officer how he/she regards this particular liberalization of gun laws?

Yes I have and all are for it; however, the word "liberalization" is not correct.  Removal of restrictions that inhibit my 2nd Amendment rights would be a de-liberalization action.

Oh yeah, I've asked them.

I know several LEO's.

 

Most persons I know, will STOP.

Because, it will usually be because of some minor traffic violation.

They will comply. And be gone.

No reason to pull out that .40.

 

However, if the tag don't match the car, car reported stolen, 4 "DoRag" wearin' Citizens...then I'm sure the Cop is gonna' be thinkin' there's a "Legal" CCW holder in the car.? Duh...

 

Then, again, the "Legal" CCW Guy that takes out a "perp", saving the Cops the trouble, is appreciated.

 

YOU! On the other hand, should still be content being armed with a "Fly Swatter"...

Depends on the LEO you ask.  At one time during the Clinton administration, one of the most prominent LEO organizations was against CCW when it was already a proven fact it reduced violent crime in Florida.  Don't know where they stand now.

 

Disagree with "enhanced."  What's the difference between open carry and having a firearm on the seat beside you?

 

Or concealed?

According to statistics collected by the FBI, 76 law enforcement officers were killed in line-of-duty incidents in 2013. Of these, 27 law enforcement officers died as a result of felonious acts, and 49 officers died in accidents. In addition, 49,851 officers were victims of line-of-duty assaults. Comprehensive data tables about these incidents and brief narratives describing the fatal attacks and selected assaults resulting in injury are included in the 2013 edition of Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, released today.

LEO's died more often by accidents than from weapons. Shouldn't the concern for firearms be more correctly channeled to motor vehicles?
