Kind of sad, isn't it? Those who say it can't happen here are kidding themselves.

what are you bemoaning exactly?
do you seriously want to contend that the banning of guns had anything to do with the rise of gun use in crimes? |

The clip is not very recent but still true today.
I think Tony Martin has now been out of jail for sometime (2003) and his sentence was reduced by the furore it caused at the time. I left the UK at the time of the pistol ban. I don't see pistol ownership ever being restored in the UK.

a gun grabber cop that I know told me that AZ is a very safe state due to all of the people that are armed....but he feels that you and I in California do not have the RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE. "It's law enforcements job to protect yoy"

SCOTUS has decreed that law enforcement has no obligation to protect individual citizens, just 'society at large'.
So next time you see the cop, you can tell him that according to the Supreme court, it's YOUR job to defend yourself...not his. |

If anti-gunners are so vocal about their stance --why not post a "no guns in this home" sign in your front lawn?

That clip is old and really deals with fox hunting which was outlawed a while ago. The Brits have chosen to ignore the law now.

District of Columbia is one of the leading cases of this type. Two women were upstairs in a townhouse when they heard their roommate, a third woman, being attacked downstairs by intruders. They phoned the police several times and were assured that officers were on the way. After about 30 minutes, when their roommate's screams had stopped, they assumed the police had finally arrived. When the two women went downstairs they saw that in fact the police never came, but the intruders were still there. As the Warren court graphically states in the opinion: "For the next fourteen hours the women were held captive, raped, robbed, beaten, forced to commit sexual acts upon each other, and made to submit to the sexual demands of their attackers." THE POLICE NEVER CAME. The three women sued the District of Columbia for failing to protect them, but D.C.'s highest court exonerated the District and its police, saying that it is a "fundamental principle of American law that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen." [4] There are many similar cases with results to the same effect. [5] See the plethora of links above. Last edited by m21sniper; 01-20-2009 at 02:30 AM.. |
