Comment Re:Smart guns... (Score 1) 814

Perfect justification for my suggestion elsewhere: let law enforcement go first. Quite frankly, those statistics are an embarrassment and should be the first evidence to show that exceptions for LEOs should NOT exist in various pieces of gun legislation.

Interesting viewpoint and way at looking at the debates. I would tend to phrase it more along the lines of "to what degree are life and the increased chance of safety more important than what amount of liberty?" but even that phrasing could, I admit, be starting the debate, not 'just' framing it.

Your little personal firearms don't stand a chance against the military or even the police really.

Perhaps, but seeing as how we live on the same soil, they would work just fine against the soldiers' wives and cops' kids.

(And no, I'm not suggesting this. Myself and almost everyone in my social groups are at risk of being the victims in this scenario.)

Even as you read this, you are wishing that you could jam a gun in my face and make me back down.

You seem to be incredibly confident in your ability to raise an emotional reaction out of your copying and pasting.

Oh, and because one or two people are deranged idiots, doesn't mean that all gun owners are. The biggest problem that gun rights advocates have with the gun control advocates is that most of the gun control advocates don't just hate guns, but hate people that don't hate guns.

Your post reads like that.

I've seen commentary like his many, many, many times. It's actually quite disturbing and makes me wonder about the violent ideation of the speaker. I suspect that it is actually they who have these violent fantasies they ascribe to others. Further, their desire to remove guns universally is because they know they cannot be trusted with such a device.

They are a stupid fucking idea that are the answer to a question nobody asked. Well nobody other than those who ultimately wish to take all guns from people not employed by the government.

For those who think I'm wrong and that these should be mandatory, why don't you go lobby the government (at any level from local to federal) and have some of these technologies mandated for LEO fire arms use. Report back with your results.

Why the fuck is anyone mentioning SYG? At the time of this writing, I haven't read any interviews with the jurors, so I'm not sure what the reason was for acquital. I'm assuming self defense. If that's the case, you need to address that issue, which is more alike than different, in 49 states.

Imagine same situation with a black Zimmerman and a white Martin.

Case closed in less than 60 seconds.

Instead, the jury just announced it is "open season" on young black males, if there'd been any doubt...

Look at closure rates for 'typical' black on black murder. This was just another case of a 'white' doing something black people had made cool and been doing for years/decades.
