Just the latest liberal stupidity.

Wouldn’t it be better if police were properly drilled so they could hit what they aim at?

It should not be shoot to kill, or shoot to wound. It should be shoot to stop the action or the threat. Center mass can be taught easily and learned and committed to almost instinct. Annie Oakley, indeed, would have to be the range instructor.

Just because you shoot somebody in the arm or the leg, does not mean he is going to stop fighting!

It is not realistic, and it exists only in cartoons.

I think The Rifleman, The Lone Ranger, Gene Autry, Cheyenne, Maverick, Paladin, et. al. basically shot the gun out of the bad guy’s hand.

Phil Engledrum once wrote that the FBI standard of marksmanship was so low that they ought to be required to carry Uzis in shopping bags.

How about we just limit the LEOs to a sternly worded warning... on paper? Works for the UN.

Who knows where a cop was aiming?... "I was shootin' at his leg, but unfortunately hit him between the eyes ."

They ought to all quit and tell the NY legislature to do what they can to protect the people.

Liberals are children. They think like children. They act like children. They talk like children. They have childish beliefs like guns can be used to only wound people because they did it in the movies.

That’s like Warren Christopher asking Delta Force to shoot the terrorists holding the hostages in the US Embassy in Iran in the shoulder instead of shooting to kill. You can’t fix stupid.

Expect a marked increase in hitting innocent bystanders. Trial lawyers dust off the appropriate case law in order to sue the government ie taxpayers.

Don't worry. Cops all think they're Annie Oakley with a gun anyway.
