Would you be willing to give up some of your rights

New findings from FBI about cop attackers and their weapons

This article came up in a thread regarding what type of bullets BG us. Very interesting read, and freighting to know BG are not only carrying quality handguns but are also being trained by ex-military, and practice more than most LEO's.

My question is this: In an effort to make it hard for convicted felons to purchase ammo, would you be willing to give up some of your rights to allow the Government to require ID and a background check prior to buying ammo?

No. Considering the background check did not stop them from obtaining the gun in the first place, what would make you think it would stop them from obtaining ammo?

That about sums it up for me too.

If you want to stop the BGs from shooting cops, then make the courts quit turning them loose. I have to imagine that one of the most frustrating things for a cop is to see the guy you just arrested a few weeks ago back on the street.

A couple of interesting items in the report:

In contrast to media myth, none of the firearms in the study was obtained from gun shows. What was available “was the overriding factor in weapon choice,” the report says.

Researcher Davis, in a presentation and discussion for the International Assn. of Chiefs of Police, noted that none of the attackers interviewed was “hindered by any law--federal, state or local--that has ever been established to prevent gun ownership. They just laughed at gun laws.”

I will never understand why people think that making more laws will solve a problem caused by current laws not being obeyed.

Insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.
