Where can you get a police job with a GED? They’re all college grads around here.

This will continue until folks shoot back! Yes, it has come to that. No. No. We need to be like other countries (you know - those shitholes Trump talked about) where anyone who is anyone lives in a "compound" and has a 7/24 security detail for themselves and their family. They rarely go to public spaces/events (too dangerous) so they only go to their own 'secured' gathering/event spaces (where they have paid for security). The only people who go to large public spaces or events are poor people who have no choice (they can't afford their own security force and they can't afford to pay someone less off then themselves to go for them). Because going out in public can be deadly. I'm seeing a money making venture here - maybe starting a personal security Firm with the objective of being bought out by someone like Eric Prince (or one of his companies) in 5 to 10 years. Could be lucrative!

Any time I ask a question about something you say, you fall back on something like this! So you must not be able to follow up on your own comments!
No, it's because we ALL know exactly how the discussion will go. There's no need to repeat it.

Anyone who carries a gun should have training. Unfortunately, too many of the cops are not smart enough to know when NOT to use their weapons. Dezil, the mutant midgets they allow to be cops today are a joke. Buff little mutants. all 5'6'' of them.

Remove the law that forbids ATF from digitizing their records, and combine state, local and federal databases so background checks will be more accurate. Require gun owners to go through a safety class to get licensed which needs to be renewed every 5 years. Evaluate them to screen for anger and violent tendencies. Penalties for people whose guns are repeatedly used in crimes by other people. Penalties stores that have a high rate of their guns being used in crimes. I think 10 stores account for 20% of crimes, or something like that. Remove guns from homes where a domestic violence issue is called in. Make it hard for those guns to get back to their owner. I'm sure there are others.

Oh you know.... 2nd ammendment trumps common sense With over 300 million guns out there now, if you suddenly out law guns,, do you actually think this man would not get a gun?? If you start shooting people because you lost on a video game, then kill yourself, That simply legally stop sell guns would have stopped him from buying one!! Murder is the ultimate illegal unlawful act, buying the gun legal or otherwise is secondary to that!
Got it. Guns should be sold to anyone who asks, no matter how psychotic or deranged. Because clearly, they'll be able to get a gun anyway. Makes perfect sense. "You get a gun, and you get a gun! EVERYBODY gets a gun!"

It was a cop. They have never been noted for being our best and brightest. With only requiring a GED to be hired, you can't expect much. Some idiot, the cop, fired when he shouldn't have. So since I have a college degree I'm more qualified to carry a gun than a police officer who has a GED? Look out world! I have several degrees so I should run around like effing Rambo? Note that I flinch when a balloon pops → don't like the sound, BUT I have the degrees so...

Could you please show us that law?

Cool we could do the drivers of cars at the same time for those that show the tendency to resort to road rage, use their cars as weapons. Second thought, let's do them first, that will eliminate a large group right there! Hmmmmm, wonder if they would stop driving without their license? nope probably not!
Remove guns from homes where a domestic violence issue is called in. Make it hard for those guns to get back to their owner. They already do that. But what makes you think they cannot get another one?

You were screaming for a wall because of ONE killing. But nothing can be done about mass killings. Why do you equate "common sense" laws with banning? Maybe because the "common sense" laws (that actually are NOT "common sense" in any manner of the term) that anti-gun nuts want to add are just as stupid as banning? Naah.... that couldn't be it at all.

Saw on the news last night where the cretin cops shot another unarmed kid! We have to start ensuring the cops have IQ's of at least 99.
