Yes, a coherent appeal to emotion is allowed to get trainees to think.You weren't a street cop. Being a desk jockey might make working in law enforcement but it isn't the same thing. You're full of shit. Most cops are pro 2nd and like I pointed out shall issue states aren't having the problem AND murder rates are going down while concealed carry laws are liberalized. You were a government drone that lived and still do in an altered state of reality.
Most "street cops" (and their family) would like a head's up, especially when called to a domestic dispute. I had a tape which I played when teaching at the Academy of the murder of two "street cops" responding to such a dispute.
Had they known that the home in which they were responding was occupied by a licensed gun owner, they might not have died on the spot. The tape was the radio broadcast between one of the officers and dispatch, it was a little less than two minutes long but chilled the students and hopefully made them aware that the proliferation of guns put them in harms way.
Food for thought of those who actually think.
Appeal to emotion, for your desire to be the new knightly class of the US, again. "guns for me and not for thee"
Getting trainees to think isn't the issue, it's wrycatcher's elitist statist desire to be among a elite class of "armed citizens" due to his LEO background while the rest of us are unarmed.
You really need to be more selective when building a straw man argument. Wet straw and dressing your scare crow in asbestos isn't effective. I have never felt the need to carry a firearm to the grocery store, to a restaurant or to a movie theater, etc.
I support the 2nd A. with reservations. Too many guns are in the hands and pockets of persons too unstable, not law abiding, not properly vetted and trained, and incapable of good judgment because of alcohol abuse, drug abuse or mental illness.
As I've posted ad nausea I support licensing, registration and other State regulations to achieve common sense gun control. No one convicted of Domestic Violence (DV) or other violent crimes ought to own, possess or have in their custody or control a gun and that includes a sworn member of a LE Agency.
And yet actual facts and statistics do not back up your claim.....gun accidents and gun murder have gone down, not up as more Americans buy, own and yes, carry gun for self defense....which makes your post silly....
Any attempt to license and register guns is unConstitutional...in fact....actual felons are protected from registering their guns by the Haynes v. U.S ruling in the Supreme Court...besides that ...you can't show that any of your measures accomplishes anything useful.
