I [sic] give my left n** to bang down your door and come for your gun, said the cop. This statement, made by Branford, Ct., police officer Joseph Peterson in a Facebook conversation earlier this month, created quite a news-cycle firestorm. Internet commenters from Sacramento to Saratoga struck a note of defiance and e-shouted the ancient words of Spartan King Leonidas, Molon labe! On the other side theres Ct. governor Dannel Malloy (D), who said to a gun owner at a March 13 town-hall meeting that the anti-Second Amendment set won and you lost. But it occurs to me that in-your-face actions can go both ways.
Pondering this brings to mind yet another type of response to the (anti)Constitution State door-banger: from law-enforcement officers (LEOs) vowing not to enforce unconstitutional gun laws. One of them, a retired career detective responding to Officer Petersons statement that his job is only to enforce the law and that he must do so no matter what form it takes called Peterson a fool and wrote, Part of the filtering process in criminal justice IS the police choosing whether or not to enforce a law at a particular point in time on a particular person. This gets at an important point: the good soldier cop argument is bunk. No LEO tickets everyone driving 31 in a 30 zone, many laws are on the books but not enforced at all, and no moral cop would obey a command to round up all members of a certain ethnic group for extermination. Police use discretion all the time.
And, if our constitutional rights are to be secure, we need fewer Officer Petersons in the world and more, lets say, Sheriff Joe Arpaios. We dont need good-soldier cops we need good-citizen cops.
The solution to this...

Your terms are acceptable. If this stops morons from procreating so much the better!
He will give more than his left n*t if he ever dares to try that! (What ever happened to the mental health care system in CT, anyway, that a certifiable suicide case is allowed to walk the streets, and in a position where he can cause great harm to many innocent citizens, too!?)
This should please the confiscation cops, the gun controllers, the Socialist left, the Neo-Con strong men, the Ukrainian people, the EU, NATO, Poland, George Soros, the UN, and most Muslims worldwide.
I wonder what would happen if 1 million CT citizens anonymously pledged not to convict anyone who kills a cop trying to confiscate weapons. Would officer left n** still feel so brave.
SOLUTION=
ALL CANDIDATES FOR POLICE POSITIONS
SHOULD BE ELECTED
BY THE PEOPLE FOR ONLY A FOUR YEAR TERM

At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason

I see your point but with election processes, the People would run the risk of having what we currently have in the offices of politicians at the federal, state and many local levels. Too big a risk (imho).
What the LEO in question does not realize is that he is caught in a circular argument.
Any LEO who sets aside the Constitution by enforcing unconstitutional laws, is in essence saying that the Constitution no longer has authority, the very same authority by which his office derives the just consent of the people, thereby nullifying his authority and making his actions illegal.
All public offices should be term limited.
Every government bow wow needs to find out what real work is all about.
Well...as someone in this line of work, I wouldn’t give my left nut or right nut and excepting for loons, criminals, and cracked out drug addicts, I couldn’t care less who own guns.
In fact, I hope everyone who is sane and not a street criminal buys a couple of nice ones and lets me play with em at the range.

Interesting. I don’t think you have any balls but, hey, if you wanna give sumpin up...
Pig...
“Hell, you can come to the range and shoot my gun, anytime, til you get over being amused”.
I got plenty of ammo and love to share. Specially at the particular range I go to.
Lot’s of very interesting arms and men willing to share their knowledge as well as let you fire off some rounds even if they are a couple a shot.
One day I’m gonna move back to Murickuh.
The gun nutz out here in CA are just stoopit. Can’t own an AR-15 that has “Colt” Stamped on it. Uhm, why? Every other one is legal, lawful and there is nothing saying they make a superior weapon or anything...
Same with allowing/disallowing models of guns.
If the gun manufacturer doesn’t pay for each and every variant of a make and model to get on the “Approved” list then it simply isn’t allowed.
That goes for triggers that are not one bit different from any other model within that category except they drilled three holes in it for aesthetics....
Dumb, de Dumb, Dumb, Dumb!
Wow!!!
I thought that LEO’s like My Uncle (RIP) didn’t exist anymore.
Thank You.
Kudos!! I’ll share time with you on a range anytime.
Man, I agree one hundred percent!
I cannot afford a class III weapon, so I am fortunate that some of the members of the range I frequent allow me to play with their noisy toys. NONE of them ever let me pay for ammo.
