    If we consider the amount of illegal guns are coming from legal sources just outside the city of Chicago (strawmen gun shops)... consideration must be made on how those who should not have the right to own a gun end up with a legally purchased gun... How do we continue to support the right to own a gun when it is that very right that is violating a right to life for those that gun rights fail?

    If the state had your conference they would have asked a few questions when they had the chance.

    Make harsher punishments for those who are not legally allowed to have one. You want harsher gun laws, then I have some dingers for you that should please you.

    PDs are subject to the same problems. Elected Sheriffs will always have more credibility and community support than appointed Chiefs of Police.

    But, absent a rational criminal justice system there will be no end to the crime waves surging over the nation. LEOs are the rear guard of retreating civilization.

    Vice TV documented that illegal firearms can be anonymously purchased over the internet. Google: vice tv darknet.

    Well my way would not only target those illegally carrying or owning a gun, but also those who contributed to get the gun into the persons hands.

    I am all for gun rights, but only for responsible and law abiding citizens. We crack down on criminals and those who aid them, we can hammer down on that murder rate.

    Before the Silk Road was closed, I could have sold you weapons to a specific GPS location... does any of that really give concretion to a "civilized society"...?

    I heard of a district where a local sheriff was elected as a joke.

    Some joke. The guy was mentally limited and went everywhere with his badge on and carrying a gun.

    In my state, at least, police are under civil service, which sets basic standards.


    ...as far as civilization receding, as long as we have a political party enabling the pulling into the country of large masses of the uneducated, as well as an ecological niche that supports unplanned and unmarried reproduction, that will continue to occur, and civilized people will continue to distance themselves from the more barbaric and dangerous segments of our population..

    The real reason people die at the hands of police is that once police use their gun it is more advantageous to police if the victim dies because dead people cannot be a witness.

    The suspect also has a duty to comply with the law when dealing with a LEO. Notice how the circumstances of police involved shootings seldom if ever mention what the suspect was doing.

    That would require passing a BG, and drug screening, not to mention taking an oath to uphold the law with integrity and respect.

    How many hippie libs would have any of the above qualifications? Lol

    Oh yes, more infinite wisdom from an all knowing leftie about a profession he/she has no clue about but thinks of himself an expert.

    Oh yeah, nobody does anything to ever justify getting shot by a cop. Ever.

    When the Vice program aired Silk Road was up and running again. The firearms purchased, and tested by Vice were obtained on other dark sites.

    Tyrannies and slave states are "civilized societies".

    The basic standards should be set by the communities. Most blighted urban neighborhoods would be better served by minimally trained local volunteer deputies than professional police officers.

    You are right about a flood of uneducated aliens flooding over the border, but a great mass of the uneducated are graduated from America's schools every year.

    Are those who drop out better educated? How much does the NYC education system spend on each illiterate it graduates?

    Summary execution is not what is taking place.

    Where is the jury? Where is the judge? Trial? Evidence?

    Innocent until proven guilty? Note, PROVEN, not "feels like they're guilty/confront them violently/execute them if they resist"

    Cops are not executing anyone. People are getting themselves killed by acting violently towards police. Let's face it if Mike brown was white you wouldn't know his name. But events like his happen more to whites then they do blacks but I bet you can't name one white person killed by a cop without googling it first. You want cops to enforce the law but don't want them to use proper force?

    Ok let's play this out. If cops arnt allowed to use justified deadly force because all lives have to become theirs, then to get away with any crime means all you have to do is threaten deadly force on a cop because police apparently are not allowed to defend themselves.

    So unless you don't want total anarchy, why don't you tell me the conditions that should allow an officer to use deadly force.

    Here's the other mistake. You think police are out there holding court in the street. This is false. Police investigate, detain, arrest.... Now, believe it or not, not everyone when they are being placed under arrest, just willingly put their hands behind their back. Some will try to hurt and kill police while they trying to arrest them, SO THEY CAN BE BROUGHT TO COURT AND JUDGED BY A JUDGE AND JURY. When you resist cops use force. If you act in a way that threatens the cops life or people around you, you will have deadly force used. It's called deadly force for a reason. It's the amount of force needed to stop someone from doing something that can kill an officer or someone else. So if people do not want deadly force used on them, don't do something that is risking the life of the officer.

    The court system comes into play after the arrest. There is no assumption of innocence when a suspect is resisting arrest. If they lose their life doing so the officer didn't murder them, the officer defended himself. It isn't an execution.
