Denver Police Department

I wish y'all would've been there to see the look on the cop's face when he asked if I was carrying any weapons the other night.

I told him that I owned them but wasn't carrying any at the moment. Priceless.

If you don't know what a good deal is, should a gun seller be legally obligated to show you a receipt for his original purchase? Then why the hell should a LEO officer have to tell you to tell them that you don't consent to a search? While were at it, why don't we make it so prosecuting lawyers have to be the defense too, cause it obviously works out so well when your forced to work against yourself.

No sympathy for the uneducated. I wont screw you, I have morals.. but I'm not going to ride in and save your butt because you didn't do your research. Why should everyone else do your homework for you? That's "cheating" and it's also immoral. Uneducated buyers are just as much to blame as sellers ripping off for a product you know...

I'm sick and tired of the lazy culture of America, and that doesn't extend just to the physical side. Most American's have no desire to learn anything. They would rather vegetate their brains. They have a right to, but that comes with the responsibility (and fallout) that comes with it.

I don't know why my forum subscriptions don't work... seems I get one for every 6 or so posts.

My point had nothing to do with the government protecting you, or for that matter ANYONE protecting you. You mentioned morals... if you have morals, why would you be screwing someone? Why would you say it is OK to screw someone on a deal with a car or a gun?

I've met alot of stupid people in my life, but ya know what? I don't think to myself, hey, this guy is a moron, I'm gonna take advantage of him! Why the heck would you think that was OK?

My point is the US Government, the Police Department, as was being discussed, should NOT be taking advantage of those who do not know their rights BECAUSE they do not know their rights. In the same way I do not believe it is right for a car dealership to lie to a customer or a gun shop to lie to a customer. Has nothing to do with government regulation or anyone being someones mommy or daddy. Again... you mentioned morality but you are ok with this? As long as someone is ignorant it is no longer immoral?

If you guys are all OK with the government screwing people because of their ignorance then then I wish you a happy and long life. And please... do not ask myself or anyone else for sympathy when you get screwed.
