Gun controls only control law-abiding citizens. Do you think someone desperate enough to shoot four policemen cares about gun control laws?
The guy had just killed two cops--it would seem to me that he should have been approached from behind cover and tear gas or flash bangs, etc., used?
The judges and parole board members who let this piece of human garbage out of prison....names we need names and addresses. They need to hear the voices of real Americans. A letter writing campaign, for those of us who are far away from CA, protests from those who live near. Dead Lovelle wanted to die young in a bloody shootout. (That is part of the values of his community.) The officers however, did not. They were raised to be productive members of society. They deserve that we fight back for them in some way. I would like to flood the parole board, and all the judges who only spanked Lovelle and sent him back out to the streets, when he really deserved life behind bars or the chair for previous crimes.
This mutt Mixon could have used a good Pellet Rifle and the SWAT officers would/could still be dead.
The fact that this murderer, a sick parasite who raped a 12 year old girl, is being defended by people who hate guns more than they hate evil tells us something. There is no point in talking to those so filled with hatred for life and for freedom.
So why in the hell don’t a few super-rich conservatives get together and buy a TV channel??? Present the news—that is, the TRUTH—and the effort would pay off like a drunk at a poker game. Why hasn’t this happened??
>Personal choices have nothing to do with it, you see. It’s not like he had anything to do with the “cycle of violence,” is it?
Nothing at all. [/SARC][/CYNIC]
By the way, the Full Auto Ban Amendment to the 1986 “Firearms Owners Protection Act” never REALLY passed! It was just on a voice vote, and the Nays WAY outweighed the Yeas on the Amendment’s adoption ballot! I heard it! Tip O’Neal just PROCLAIMED that it passed, to the GASPS of many in attendence, and the minority Repubs could not challenge him because of the parlimentary rules in effect at the time! HONEST! History!
The key fact is that we already have an “assault” weapons ban in CA. And a test is required before you can purchase a gun (even at gun shows).
And as evidenced here (and by everyday crime reports) none of these laws is the least bit effective in determining scum from purchasing handguns - of any type - and using them to kill innocent police and civilians alike.
The solution is not to ban guns - it is to keep scum locked up until they are too old to be commiting violent crimes.
