[Vision2020] Dorner and Gun Control

[Matt Decker]

Granted it's late, but a couple of thoughts Joe. -LAPD? Really? I have a couple of good friends on the force down there. To imply that the majority of the boys in blue are nothing but humble and unselfish is downright degrading. -Any gun in the wrong hands creates mayhem. It doesn't matter what type. -what guns? Pistols? Or the AR 15s that killed about 300 last year. 11,000 killed last year.
 -When will we look at society and how we are raised instead of blaiming everyone else. Raise your kids proper. -Mental health -Just imagine if a pissed off ex-cop can do this, what would a battalion of former Marines do when they get pissed? Lack of VA support and taking away the rights they fought for.  -How is it that no one on this site ever talked about Chris Kyle? The guy is a hero and yet not one  post? Whitney Houston gets half mass, but not Kyle? Granted Joe, not all these are addressed to you but just venting.  That's it for now. MDDate: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 22:02:18 -0800

I'm watching the Dorner episode unfold and reading the V2020 posts, and it is pretty clear no one knows what is happening at this point. Is he dead? Not clear now, according to CNN.

Keep in mind that this one man with a few guns worked skilled, trained police officers into a frenzy. How many innocent victims were shot? I don't remember.


But what I do know is that skilled, trained police officers with guns are a menace -- under the right unfortunate circumstances. People blame the cops but what would you do? How would you react to a situation in which you were a target? I'm guessing, not very well. Me either.


And you say guns are safe? If they are in the right hands? What hands are those? Not the LA police.

Guns are always a risk. That's why gun control is worthy of consideration. Even skilled, trained police officers can be a menace if the circumstances are unforgiving.
