No we don't agree...you twist it your way but leave me out!
You don't speak for me and never will!


Just explain why police are allowed to be better armed than citizens that are just as likely to face a situation with a heavily armed person.  Take a position for once.  Try to form an argument with a premise and a conclusion.  Its not very hard.  It wont hurt, I promise.

Then cops don't need a 15 round capacity.  Ok, we agree!

Surely you can't justify 15 round clips for one person but not another.  Unless cops lives are more valuable or all Americans are potential mass murderers.


OF course the cops lives are worth much less than say... Henry's or Cicero's life. The board haters
have no use for the police, in fact they expect that one day soon they will be shooting at the police.
I wonder how their "friends" who are cops and OathKeepers feel about their motto:
"Cops Are Scum".



The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

That's not an argument box.  That's an ad hominem attack.  Totally fallacious.  You missed your target by a mile.  Try again.  If you are trying to teach joebxr how to form a coherent argument, you are not doing a good job.

We'll try again.  Why should cops be better armed than average citizens? GO!

That was the point.  The average citizen gets 7 rounds when faced with a situation like this.  I agree, spray as many rounds in the direction of the shooter.  That is what police can do, the average citizen is expected to shoot seven rounds and reload.


Just wondering if you have ever been shot at ? You sound like you know alot. Is it true that being shot at and missed is exhilarating ? one of the best feeling in life.  or is it scarryer than sh1t ?

Here in lies the problem....you need to have someone explain it to you becuase you can't comprehend why.
Sad that you just don't get it.  Maybe I will try to explain, but I know it's furitelss activity with you.
(1) It's a cops job to be out there to serve and protect...as many of you have stated, that's what they are paid for
(2) A cop is much more likely to encounter a criminial armed with a gun in public than a citizen
(3) A citizen carrying a gun in public is a potential danger to themselves and others if not properly trained
(4) A citizen encountering a criminal with an AK47 firing at them has no weapons they can carry publicly to defend against such attck....
     A cop is suppossed to be able to defend against such an attack and should have equal or better weapons to counter


So CISSY, how are you going to defend against a heavily armed criminal that just exited his car
on State Street, at 1am in the morning, and is spraying AK47 bullets in your direction.....watcha gonna do?
How are you going to stop him? What could you possibly do besides pee your pants and wish for the cops to arrive?
Are you going to be carrying a loaded AK47 around with you waiting for this exact moment?


JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!!  
JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!

No, never been shot at.  Pretty sure it's scary as sh!t, I wouldn't imagine exhilarating.  The thought of it is scarier than sh!t.  The thought of being shot at or assaulted and left defenseless is even scarier.  Cops don't have to worry about that.  Granted they are most likely scared when faced with gun fire, but at least they have the comfort of knowing they are going to be armed properly and authorized to shoot if they feel their life is threatened.  The average citizen has the burden of proof when defending yourself with lethal force.

Yes it is but the truth is they can not protect us all of the time, as I said before cops arrive after the crime has been committed 99% of the time, the citizens face the criminals before the cops ever do, we should have just as much protection as the cops because of that.

Quoted from joebxr
(2) A cop is much more likely to encounter a criminial armed with a gun in public than a citizen



Not true at all, how many criminals attempt to rob a cop at gun point or break in into a cops house armed. Citizens are far more likely to be involved in a crime involving a gun then cops. Saying otherwise is a complete lie but that is the lie many still believe today. To give an example roofers, construction workers, fishermen, loggers, sanitation workers are more likely to get injured or killed on the job.

Quoted from joebxr
(3) A citizen carrying a gun in public is a potential danger to themselves and others if not properly trained



I agree with this one and that is why many gun owners and gun organizations encourage all gun owners to receive some form of training be it self defense and gun safety. There is many classes one can take that are held by groups like the NRA to receive such training.

Quoted from joebxr
(4) A citizen encountering a criminal with an AK47 firing at them has no weapons they can carry publicly to defend against such attck....
     A cop is suppossed to be able to defend against such an attack and should have equal or better weapons to counter


While one might be outgunned we shouldn't limit citizens to have zero chance of protection, shot placement is key and a pistol can save ones life even if facing someone with a high powered rifle. Laws today make it hard for law abiding citizens to defend themselves from a knife attack let alone a heavily armed suspect. What's the average response time in Schenectady 5-8 minutes if you're lucky, that's a long time to wait for heavier weapons to arrive if needed, citizens should be able to have some form of defense to give them a fighting chance, instead some want to limit citizens chances even more.


Quoted from joebxr

So CISSY, how are you going to defend against a heavily armed criminal that just exited his car

While your answer was directed at Cicero I will say the same thing, a pistol can save your live if you have a chance to use it. These cops were lucky, this was a horrible situation to be in but the outcome was the man with the AK ended up dead because of the officers side arms.

Try this argument in the general public Cic... (if you dare) away from the protection of your
board haters group.

Why do the Marines need attack helicopters???
Why can't Cicero and Henry buy attack helicopters to "protect their home"?

Why does the US president (any president) need secret service protection...
why can't Cicero and Henry have that kind of protection?

If Cicero and Henry want to use this equipment, they could try ( LMAO @ TRY   ) to join
the Marines or the secret service.

The question really is WHY DO CICERO AND HENRY FEEL THE NEED TO HAVE THIS EQUIPMENT?
Of course we all know the answer... for their upcoming race war against Obama and his Socialists!

What equipment, a gun that will hold over 7 rounds? that is what we are talking about box not helicopters and cruise missiles. All a sudden my grandfathers gun that he passed down to my father which he will pass down to me one day should be illegal to own because it holds 10 shots yeah right.

'

the military have ASSUALT weapons/machinery etc....someone points to the enemy and they GO after the enemy
and hopefully get to be the assault weapons they were trained to be....

so using lingo in a civil sense changes the definition/meaning and ideology of it....but you can't separate the two..
you've been 'changed'



...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
