I don't know why this is happening , on what seems like at least a weekly basis nowadays, but for some reason, innocent people are needlessly being gunned down by madmen armed with guns that many decent, law abiding normal sportsmen own for target shooting and hunting.
Just yesterday, a man in his 20's, had apparently lost his job and was upset, so he created a domestic disturbance, in order to get the police called to his home, where he then ambushed the first responders with an AK-47 (a gun, of which I own 2) and shot them all in the head. Unfortunatley, the Pittsburgh police dept. did not follow protocol like they should have, which is to call in the SWAT team first on a a domestic disturbance involving guns. These 3 cops were just plain outgunned, by a man with a semi atuomatic high powered rifle that holds 30 rounds inthe magazine. (Not an excuse though, they could have just as easily been killed with a single action revolver from 1870). I don't like the media's atttempt to scare the publc by calling his weapon an "Assault Rifle" because there is no such thing. If I sharpen a toothbrush and kill you with it, doesn't that make it an "Assault Toothbrush" Or I kill you with my car. Fear the dreaded "Assault Civic".
But back to my point. These things are unfortunatley, going to keep happening, as the economy gets worse. Why anyone would get THAT upset over losing a job is beyond me, I mean Fuck! Go get another god damn job! Nothing like that is worth killing innocent people. Or if you are that mad, at least place your anger where it belongs. Go shoot the bastard that made the decision to lay you off! LOL, you know I'm just kidding.
But this has got to stop. 4 Oakland police officers dead last week form a convicted felon (who had no business possesing ANY guns in the first place, as it's against the law) , 3 days ago, a gunman in Binghamton New York, goes into an immigration center (he himself was a Vietnamese immigrant) and killed 14 people, because he lost his job at IBM. And now this. I can't help but wonder if some corrupt government official is behind all this, using these slayings to dance in the blood of the victims, so as to scare the American public into being ok with adopting another "Assault Weapons" ban.
IF that's the case, they're looking at it all wrong. For one, our own FBI proved that the 1994 ban on assault weapons did absolutley NOTHING to prevent any violent crime, because gun control laws have not affect on criminals (obviously. The gunman in Oakland was a felony parolee, and Kalifornia has the strictest gun control laws in the nation. They worked really well didn't they?).
More people, decent people, need to be more heavliy armed, including the police. You police captains, you send your duty officers out in the field with nothing more than a Baretta 9MM handgun for their duty weapon? WTF!?!? You're putting your officers in DANGER! Every patrol officer should be equipped with at least a semi sutomatic AR-15 in the trunk or compartment of their vehicle. Maybe then, they'd be able to at least fight back. You remember the famous 1997 Hollywood bank robber shootout? The bank robbers had (Illegal!) automatic weapons, and held the LA police at bay for over an hour, as all they had were Smith and Wesson revolvers and pupmp shotguns. The police had to go down the street to a local gun store to borrow AR-15's to finally be able to handle the situation, which they eventually did. (Hey, unlike the movies, you DO eventually run out of ammo).
This has to end. Law abiding gun enthusiasts such as myself, as going to suffer and be the target (no pun intended) of some serious new gun control legislation that's obviously going to get pushed hard now.
I have a plan to rid this country of gun violence overnight. Give anyone convicted of ANY firearms related crime, whether it's robbery, assault, murder, whatever, an automatic DEATH PENALTY, plus 5 years. I guarrantee, you'd no longer see these problems. Making the weapons more unavailable won't solve anything. Criminals will STILL GET THEM!! Can you wrap your stupid liberal mind around that Eric Holder? SEVERELY ENFORCE THE LAWS WE ALREADY HAVE! You make the punishments too light for gun offenses. Why do you think criminals ignore the laws?
Hopefully, this country pulls it's head out of it's ass real soon.
