Another tragedy, I hadn’t read about that one. And Google Jose Guerena for a major screw up by cops. And they get away with it on a regular basis. I wouldn’t feel too secure if I had to rely on the cops as my only source of protection. 

Oh remember this story and it infuriated me to no end when I first heard it. They executed that Marine and got away with it.

It was tragic enough they killed him, but to get away with it with no admission of wrong doing? Unbelievable. They murdered the man in his own home.

All because he grabbed his rifle to defend his family. They pretty much did a no knock raid on his house then shot him for doing what a man does.

He was in his house, gun was on safe and wasn’t fired. Cops get away with a lot.

I'm reminded of the sage words of former Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders:  "We need safer guns, and safer bullets!"

I just don't understand why it's necessary to bring a gun to a supermarket. It has never once crossed my mind. We did not have guns in my house -- my mom is a doctor and saw too much opportunity for something really tragic to happen accidentally, given some of the patients she's had to treat when she was an ER doctor. At one of the firms my dad worked at, one of the attorneys kept a gun in a drawer just in case a client went crazy. But it is not something that I find I would ever want to own, and I do not like being around people who are carrying weapons, unless they are police/similar. 

 

I admit lying to my ex that permanent residents couldn't own a gun when he said he wanted to buy one. I don't know if he ever figured out I was lying about that! 

I feel the same way but at the same time I am pro 2nd amendment.  I have never had the urge to carry a gun while going to the supermarket.  I do believe in assault rifle bans but not bans on everything.  I have lived in two countries (Brazil and Mexico) where there is a complete 100% ban on any kind of weapon and it sucked because of all the break-ins and assaults in those two countries.  You couldn't protect your family from house invasions which is morally wrong.  But at the same time I don't need a weapon of war that can spit out 100 rounds in a minute just to subdue an assailant.  All you need is a handgun or hunting style shot gun to protect yourself from home invasion.

I respect that, and I totally get why it would be even more necessary in Mexico and Brazil. I wouldn't have a handgun or shotgun to protect my home, but it's a personal preference that I wouldn't impose on other people.
