Thank God that America is not set up for such a tyrannical system as this! This is the Fascist State that the Democrats want! They want people disarmed, to "leave it up to the professionals"! "Call 911" when someone is trying to kill you... so they can come file a report and draw a chalk-line around you!
Police have no obligation to protect you! That is what the Courts have decided! Cops do not carry guns to protect you; they carry guns to protect themselves! Making a "Rule" that you cannot stop violators of the Law because you are not employed by the Government, especially if you are the victim... is a misplaced faith in paid Public Servants that have no obligation to do anything!
The Police in my State never had guns on them until the 1990's I think and that came in with a socialist government, but the main problem was because of the amount of people on drugs being total low life.
Not to mention it was the socialist who were backing up the drug taking low life mobs in my State.
It's the socialist who want to take away ones right to have a gun or to defend yourself with one in your own home.
In Australia we had a right wing party take away our right to outright own a gun, I had a semiautomatic for years, then I had to hand it in due to the Law.
I bought it to defend myself and home from law less thugs who like we seen wilfully destroying property and all, to hell with such people. they should know that if they want to take advantage of people like that they may end up with lead in them. so the message is don't go taking advantage of people or you may end up shot and the same with when one deals with the police, one has to understand that they are the Law and that you must obey them, if you try to attack them you could be shot. I have no sympathy for anyone attacking the police as anyone who does is a moron.
Police do have a duty to protect people as to the Law, they have many things like duty of care of the criminal as well when in custody in my State. The Police pistol is to only be used to kill in my state and that goes for the cops protection and all others.
The Port Arthur shootings in Tasmania was staged by the Federal Government only to take guns of the people. the shooter could of been shot easy many a time but the Police were instructed not to shoot him. so the idiot went about shooting totally free to do so. not to mention that the idiot could of done so with a bolt action rifle or maybe even a sharpened up butter knife.
All people should have the right to defend themselves against criminal actions.
Drug abuse is the main cause of most problems, if their was no drugs people would not be so stupid, many such people are criminally insane, they do not truly care for themselves or anyone or anything really. that's the drug culture ! it's all about what can they get.
