And yet another cop's gun stolen.

Crooks will ALWAYS find ways to get guns.

Police say a bullet proof vest and a hand gun have been stolen from the home of a former police officer.

1. Why are they allowed...

to take guns home? They should be secured in a safe at the station. Instead, we have cops killing their wives with guns, their children killing each other with their father's gun, and they're also losing guns.

[slackmaster]

2. Cops are supposed to be better trained and more stable people

Don'cha know?

[MrBenchley]

4. Helluva good argument

to let less trained, more neurotic loonies pack heat, eh?

Boy, those guns turned out to be one swell deterrrant to crime.

[slackmaster]

6. That swooshing sound you just heard

Was the sarcasm going right over your head, Benchley.

Check your coiffure.

[MrBenchley]

10. Is "sarcasm" the new RKBA term for horseshit?

[slackmaster]

And grow a sense of humour.

8. And some cops are supposedly better trained than others

Hundreds of FBI weapons and laptop computers have been stolen or lost over the last decade, including one handgun used in a homicide and at least one laptop that contains classified information, Justice Department and FBI officials said yesterday.

Nearly 450 firearms are missing -- including pistols, revolvers, assault rifles and shotguns, officials said. The list includes 184 weapons stolen from agents' cars and homes, one of which was used in a slaying in the South, the only crime connected to one of the FBI guns, officials said.

An additional 265 weapons are unaccounted for. Many apparently were improperly kept by FBI agents who retired or were fired. FBI officials said they would pursue prosecutions of those former agents.

Thirteen of the 184 missing laptops are also believed to have been stolen, including one that contained classified information related to two closed espionage cases and three others that may contain secret files, FBI officials said.

3. Because they

are always on duty. They are sworn officers of the law, they can arrest a lawbreaker at any time. Say he's at the 7/11 in civvies,buying diapers for his kid. An armed robber is there. He stops the robbber.

[op6203]

11. This is true

nt

[MrBenchley]

5. Fly, who are you trying to kid?

Are you really trying to tell us that crooks get guns by stealing them from cops?

[demsrule4life]

7. Yes they do

They also get guns by crooked cops that sell guns taken out of evidence rooms.

[MrBenchley]

9. Surrrrrrrre....

You guys are good for a BIG laugh every day.

Quick, everybody....is there any point in asking for some proof of this hooey?

[demsrule4life]

12. Let's see my thirty years of Law Enforcement

to your what? I think I have a better idea what goes on in police depts then you do. Several cops in several depts are in prison today for selling guns taken out of evidence rooms and sold to gang members.

PA Attorney General's Office: Westmoreland County Deputy Sheriff Charged With Stealing Guns From Evidence Locker
HARRISBURG, Pa., July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania Attorney General Mike Fisher today announced that a Westmoreland County Deputy Sheriff has been charged with theft for allegedly stealing seized weapons from an evidence locker and selling the guns to an area gun dealer.

Fisher said agents of his Bureau of Criminal Investigation have filed criminal charges against Luigi "Gino" Ferrari, 40, of 1xx7 Saybrook Dr., Greensburg. Ferrari is a Westmoreland County Deputy Sheriff and holds the rank of sergeant.

The charges allege that in the fall of 1996 Ferrari, who was in charge of the evidence locker in the Westmoreland County Sheriff's office, falsified documents and stole 15 unclaimed weapons from the locker. He allegedly gave some of the weapons away and sold others on consignment to a local gun dealer. The charges allege that in 1991 Ferrari stole one gun.

The charges allege that several of the weapons that Ferrari stole were obtained from individuals who were served with protection from abuse orders (PFA). Fisher explained that when the Sheriff's office served a PFA order they would seize or confiscate weapons or guns from the individual. The weapons were logged in the Sheriff's office and kept in the evidence locker. Upon the expiration of the PFA order, a notice was sent to the individual to claim their weapon within 30 days. If a gun remained unclaimed, a court order to destroy the weapon was to be obtained. The Sheriff's office was supposed to take the weapons to a foundry to be melted.

13. Too too funny....

Hey, everybody, we have to let every neurotic carry a handgun whenever he wants one because the criminals have FIFTEEN guns.

By the way, helluva credible source you've dredged up there...

14. what is acceptable?

Would the steps taken by a former LEO to ensure her family's safety, without any documented threats against that LEO, be considered "neurotic"? Would family members who heed that LEO's advice to be concerned about their personal safety also be considered "neurotic"?

Would the carrying of pepper spray or folding knives for personal defense warrant the carrier being labeled "neurotic"? Or people who get those Brinks home alarm system thingies? Does the neurotic label only apply to firearms owners?

Just curious.

[MrBenchley]

15. How about limiting criminals' access to guns

By inisisting on background checks for ALL gun sales, registered guns and owners, and stricter controls on ammunition sales?

[Romulus]

16. asking about "neurotic" label

The pre-confiscation agenda of gun-owner registration is not my point here.

Would the steps taken by a former LEO to ensure her family's safety, without any documented threats against that LEO, be considered "neurotic"? Would family members who heed that LEO's advice to be concerned about their personal safety also be considered "neurotic"?

Would the carrying of pepper spray or folding knives for personal defense warrant the carrier being labeled "neurotic"? Or people who get those Brinks home alarm system thingies? Does the neurotic label only apply to firearms owners?

Just curious.

[MrBenchley]

18. So in other words...

actual steps that could cut down on gun crime are not of any interest, since they involve "The pre-confiscation agenda of gun-owner registration"

I think you've answered your own question, more eloquently than I could.

[Romulus]

22. please read the questions

Would the steps taken by a former LEO to ensure her family's safety, without any documented threats against that LEO, be considered "neurotic"? Would family members who heed that LEO's advice to be concerned about their personal safety also be considered "neurotic"?

Would the carrying of pepper spray or folding knives for personal defense warrant the carrier being labeled "neurotic"? Or people who get those Brinks home alarm system thingies? Does the neurotic label only apply to firearms owners?

[MrBenchley]

26. And I read your last post too

And you answered that question yourself.

[slackmaster]

17. Go peddle it in a country where enough people will vote for it

It certainly won't fly in the USA.

[MrBenchley]

19. Sez you

Why do you suppose the gun lobby and the Republicans are doing all they can to keep gun control bills from coming to a vote....or to keep gun control measures off public ballots?

[slackmaster]

21. Because they think gun control sucks ass

Too bad Democrats can't come to agreement on this. It may be our Waterloo.

[MrBenchley]

23. Yeah, right...

Or it may be that we can both win the election and cut down on the horrendous toll guns take in this society.

[slackmaster]

25. You'll never accomplish either by advocating gun bans

Your draconian ideas will end up on the rubbish heap of history. I hope you don't take the Democratic Party down with you.

[MrBenchley]

27. What a pantload

I'll stick with sanity and public safety, not far right wing RKBA propaganda.

[slackmaster]

24. How many examples do you need?

DO you know how Police Departments decide what level of bulletproof vests they issue to their officers? They base it on being able to stop the Officer's gun fired into the vest at point-blank range. Either they're concerned with the officers trying to commit suicide by shooting themselves in their bulletproof vest, or they're worried about criminals getting the officer's gun.

[MrBenchley]

28. Yeah, surrrrrrrre....

And thanks for playing "what's my RKBA fantasy."

[DoNotRefill]

30. Huh?

How is that a "RKBA fantasy"?

[demsrule4life]

31. Just ignore it
