Reddit: "Police Officers: If ordered, would you confiscate firearms from law abiding citizens?"

Really? And here I am with some mercury and nitric acid sitting over a small container of ethanol. What was I thinking.....

Mine was leaning more to the fact that tanks tend not to work so well when parts are fused together outside of manufacturers specifications

I really miss the Budweiser frogs.

/ hugs? Oh.. and I know you meant to say that the allies went to liberate Europe from the Axis powers which included the Nazis, not the average German people who were caught up in it. Splitting hairs I know, and I'm not attacking you so please don't get defensive. Having lived there for 4 years and talking to lots of older Germans, their perspective was interesting. If common sense were common, more people would have some.

You ARE splitting hairs, jeez! Sorry, I was using the interchangeable word Germans with Nazis and visa versa... My bad- even though we did formally declare war against the nation of Germany.

I see. Well, I'm sorry you took it that way. I meant that your opinion on the matter, after the blow-back you experienced, was in the minority.

Yes, I see I'm frequently in the minority... But hey, if we all had the exact same view and opinion on everything there would be no exciting and fun discussion (but then my feelings wouldn't be hurt so often - Joking, my feelings don't get hurt via interwebz).

I guess someone doesn't know how to set posts per page... jeez, n00bz...

Found this interesting; "Also, 'The National Sheriff's Association' has supported administration efforts to combat gun violence after the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings. President Larry Amerson, sheriff of Calhoun, Ala., said he understands the frustrations of people in rural areas with the federal government. But he feels his oath of office binds him to uphold all laws."

Speaking of Reddit (which i don't know much about) what's up with the founder dying in a mysterious car crash- and his father coming out yesterday saying the govt killed him???

The national Sheriff's Association, IACP, PERF and the FOP are all supporting gun control "officially". Except for the FOP they are groups of administrators not the line level. The FOP is generally line level and they are taking a huge hit over their stance in 94. They sent a letter out saying they supported a ban like the 94 one because of a vote in 93. They are experiencing a huge backlash right now with members stating they will drop the FOP like a hot rock if they support any gun control legislation. The FOP hasn't put out an official stance yet. Losing 30 to 60 bucks a month per person is definitely going to put a damper on things.

The line level gets very little representation. The mouthpiece of any agency where the leader is not elected like a sheriff usually bends to the will of the person who appointed them. Chicago's mayor and Chief New Yorks mayor and chief. They say what they are told despite the belief of the rank and file who actually work the streets. Thats how they got appointed to begin with.

There are a few movements to change that. The FOP is in the best position but it is an East Coast based organization and if any agencies are more like to be Anti in my opinion its them.

The Middle and Western portion of the country seems to be much more friendly to personal responsibility and freedom.
