Ok.

Here's a great idea... Bloomberg thinks cops should go on strike nationwide until they get gun control.

“I don’t understand why police officers across this country don’t stand up collectively and say we’re going to go on strike, we’re not going to protect you unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what’s required to keep us safe,’’ he told CNN’s Piers Morgan.

Um, and then we would need guns even more.

Amazing .NYC has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation ;and yet he still thinks there is a need to have a stop and frisk policy in the inner city to intercept "illegal "guns .What would change with more regulation?

Their would be less assault weapons and copkiller bullets on the streets.

Maybe the cops should go on strike since it's their lives on the line.

Here are the Nationwide stats for this year :
21 of the 53 officers who died in the first half of 2012 were killed in traffic related incidents
19 were shot to death, down 50 percent from last year.
13 officers died due to other causes.
The stats don't specify the type of gun used in the cop killings. Most likely they were hand held pistols .

So you're for anarchy.

P.S. It's MY life and YOUR life on the line, too if the cops disappear. Besides the fact that cops typically can't go on strike that's a stupid idea.

Then tell your congressman you want some common sense restrictions and regulations that helps the cops do their job safely!

You can still hunt bambi without an assault rifle or hollow point bullets that penetrate a kevlar vest can't you? When is it anarchy to support a cop huh? Or a cop to support himself because you don't?

[speechlesstx]

If the cops strike anarchy is what you'll get. You said you support a strike, you're going to get anarchy if that happens. And as tom showed, guns don't seem to be the cops' main problem, it's vehicles.

Tom is wrong. So are the stop and frisk freaks!

If you protect your local cop, he won't need to go on strike... DUH!!

Let me make it simple for you.

Tal: "maybe the cops should go on strike since its their lives on the line."

What would be the consequences of that?

[talaniman]

If you protect your local cop, he won't need to go on strike..................DUH!!!!

[tomder55]

How am I wrong ? I quoted actual stats ,and have already told you that I favor some of the restrictions you suggested ;and one I suggested that you didn't think of ,which was key to the Aurora case.

[speechlesstx]

If you protect your local cop, he won't need to go on strike..................DUH!!!!

That's another dodge.

That's all the Current Events board is - dodging and emotionally charged posts. You new here? LOL.

As me a question, I'll answer it.

People wondering how this miscreant got the money to purchase weapons ,ammo ,and body armor now have their answer ;Uncle Sam footed the bill.

He was awarded a $26,000 grant to study neuroscience at the University of Colorado ;and had his tuition paid for.

Weeks before the shooting ;he had taken what is described as an "intense oral exam" . The University to date has not disclosed the results of this exam... but something prompted him to abruptly quit the program.

Hello tom:

Well, there you go.. All we got to do is stop writing checks. Problem solved.

How did I know this would be the government's fault?? Bwa, ha ha ha.

That wasn't my question. Am I to conclude that AMHD is taking a position on the Presidential contest by the ads they allow ?
