Everything Flatline says makes me think of this...

By the way, that is 3000 killed, how many people are killed from the home invasions. And just because someone does not know you who breaks into your home doesn't mean that that person didn't precipitate an attack. Rival gang members don't know each other and the majority of the remainder of those statistics. And I'm including SIs and HIs in my numbers of dead kids since they wouldn't have otherwise had access to a gun. Also as I stated earlier, kids are not the only risk being accounted for, they are just one of them.
And I didn't ask for cops who advocate for gun ownership, I asked you to provide a cop who advocates for people to keep guns loaded with a round in the chamber around the house. Two VERY different things.
Being a medic and doing rescue. I'm not using that to reinforce my claims, though you'll probably love that I do both public and department education on this stuff. I would say I do some positive stuff for the community, but maybe you do more locking up some lady for having joint on her and giving out tickets for running stop signs. That is assuming your patrol and not a jailer or sworn court guard.
On that note, you do know that romney passed more anti gun legislation when he was the governor of massachusets than obama has in the white house right? If your light headed and have chest pain now I would advise you to call 911, I don't work windsor or anywhere else up north so you won't have to worry about me showing up.
Ok Time out Kids... all of you STFU. This is my thread so I'm going to throw a bitch fit on this whole damn thing.
Flatline..
You have been provided with " A cop that advocates keeping loaded weapons around the house" Bailey Guns is a retired LEO with over 15 years in uniform. is that not good enough for you ?
You expect us to name officers and departments??? Dude this is the god damn internet. I won;t even give you MY name.. you have no reason to know it unless we have a deal on the trading post. I won't give anyone my name on here unless there is a reason. and so you can do.. whatever the hell it is you think your going to do with said name/dept. is well.... not gunna happen.
Look your entitled to your opinion on the safe keeping of weapons in a household. you know who's house you can control? ONLY YOURS. While I understand your " think of the children" attitude guess what ... many of us either don't have children .. or they are all grown up, Or we feel they are taught well enough, smart enough to not be an issue. Don't like it ? Don't let your kids play at their houses. Simple as it comes.
And just a bit of FYI... when you blanket statement that people are "idiots" for doing something.. chances are you are going to get some backlash like a whole fuckload of it.
As to the stats ..........
Try some real research yourself
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr61/nvsr61_06.pdf
Page 40
TOTAL Across ALL Age Groups in 2011 was 851 (606 in 2010) deaths by firearms accident
Please tell us where you get your 3000 number for JUST "children". And BTW... The CDC is not exactly a gun friendly organization. but numbers don't lie I found this with 3 mins of looking I'm sure if I read longer I can find the numbers Bailey has posted above....
To Jim...............
I'll just say this to you my friend:
Never argue with an idiot.. they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience .
if the stats I gave above are not enough for you ......
use this
http://webappa.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/mortrate10_us.html
set for unintentional( IE an accident) set for firearms set for 2010... age group of <1 to 17 ( at 18 your an adult damn it ) guess what it spits out? total number of accidental deaths by firearms in that age group in 2010? 98.
And with this ... I'm going to take my own advice... and stop being dragged down .
damn lights you missed the perfect chance to do this
will you guys stop having a purse fight [handbags]
truth be told i keep a brick in my purse [Coffee]
Flatline...
Rarely does someone's inability to grasp simple concepts and facts push me to the edge of insanity. However, you seem to have a special gift for that. So I'm just going to assume that any attempt to continue a somewhat intelligent discussion with you will only lead to me having to start the day off by drinking...a lot. I'm not going to do that. I'll just take my normal dose of BP meds, announce to the world that Flatline is the "winner" and go about the rest of my day.
Otherwise, the second-hand stupidity I'm being exposed to by arguing with you poses a far greater danger to my safety than either a loaded gun or a home invasion.
I will, however, thank my lucky stars that you're not conducting (at least as far as I know) "department education on this stuff" in my area. The general public is misinformed enough as it is...they really don't need your "help".
Have a nice day.
True Dat or Dis^. Great laugh regarding the drinking, More.
