A gun AND cops thread :)

[The Straight Story]

I have defended cops in the past on the whole taser issue as I used to be a cop and can understand the need for something other than clubs and guns.

HOWEVER I have also known really bad cops (and I am sure we have all seen the strip search video from Ohio already) and to be fair I have not really posted about them much. My bad.

I may do so later :) but for right now I am wondering - do we want cops and the military to be the only ones with guns?

Do we TRUST THEM with guns and not each other??

Do you feel comfortable with the idea that the only people with guns should be people in power?

I don't.

I know that there will be a few idiots with guns that do really bad things. Just like I know there will be cops who abuse their power, and people in govt (hello..bush and Iraq war) who abuse their power.

Guns don't kill people, our government does.
