Los Angeles Magazine Ban Invites Ridicule, Defiance and Contempt
by David Codrea
Snippet from David's article:
The Los Angeles City Council passed an ordinance last week banning what it calls "large capacity" [read "standard capacity"] magazines, ordering citizens to surrender them within 60 days. Gun owners caught in possession of a 10+round magazine by LAPD enforcers will face misdemeanor charges, the Los Angeles Daily News reported.
California already bans the manufacture and sale of such magazines, but "it's not against the law to possess large-capacity magazines in most of the state." And true to form, now that they've imposed their edict in L.A., the antis are looking to expand it nationwide. That was a major talking point at a rally outside City Hall featuring citizen disarmament advocates and publicity-seeking politicians behind the "We Don't Trust You with Essentially the Same Technology Used in Pez Dispensers Act."

You let me know the next time someone gets killed with a Pez dispenser

Let us know the next time a member of the Govt guns down a citizen of the country...

Well, if the citizens don't need them, I guess the police don't need them either.
But wait! You're going to say that the police need them because they go after armed criminals.
So how is this logic? The police need hi-capacity magazine to go after armed criminals. The armed criminals generally don't go after the police - who have hi-capacity magazines. Instead armed criminals go after the citizens - who the power-that-be don't want to have hi-capacity magazines. Therefore, the citizens who the armed criminals go after do not need hi-capacity magazine, but the police, who armed criminals try to avoid, need hi-capacity magazines to go after the same armed criminals that citizens do not need hi-capacity magazines to face.
Civilians are not obligated to run towards danger. The police are. That is the difference, always the difference. Always will be the difference.

Did you miss the Supreme Court ruling that said LEOs are NOT obligated to place themselves in danger? Or how about that incident on the NYC Subway where a unarmed citizen had to subdue a knife wielding serial killer in a subway car, while two NYC police officers safely watched the entire thing happen through the window of a locked door in the conductor's compartment? No need to worry however. After the citizen took several wounds and beat the killer into submission, the "brave" police officers came out from safety and took credit for the capture.

Police aren't "Obligated" to run toward danger - that's just a Macho myth they like everyone to believe. It boosts their ego's - like riding on Superman's cape. They always sight the brave acts of others - people see criminal actions like in Ferguson and say, "Oh My God you guys are so brave" - true stats would show most go their whole career without life threatening incidents.
Yes, many are forced into physical and life threatening situations - but not on a daily - weekly or monthly basis ! Some never once draw or fire their guns - THANK GOD !
They mainly deal with unruly people, traffic issues and alcohol/drug related events !
Its ridiculous to keep arming police like they are all fighting urban gorillas - it increases their stress - it increase taxpayers fears and doesn't seem to be stopping crime.
It just reinforces the divide between them and residents.
The biggest insult is when you see a bumper sticker that reads, "Pay Cops like your life depends on, it does"

Only my opinion.
I think firemen are the ones that truly run into "danger". I'm not saying police officers never risk their lives but firemen literally run into danger to rescue people.

and being a police officer is FAR from a dangerous job... garbage men, and constrctuction workers rank higher than cops when looking at the dangerous aspect of it

So citizens should not be afforded the same level of protection from criminal elements?Originally Posted by BorderBob
Apparently not. Somehow when you put on a badge, or hold public office, your life magically becomes more valuable than the common man or woman.
Let's rephrase. Police may not be OBLIGATED to respond, they just do. And when they do, they need to be equipped to perform the task, including different levels of force. It is why I carried batons and OC and Tasers in addition to the firearm (or a long gun). And while a citizen can be robbed, or happen across a crime, they are under no obligation to engage. They don't get calls to go and deal with a robbery, or a domestic with weapons in the house. They certainly don't stop motor vehicles. You want to compare yourself to a cop, do you carry hand cuffs when you carry a gun? Or are you just prepared to kill people?
b.b.
Except that the FBI Crime Statistics figures out that for every 1 time a LEO uses their firearm to stop crime, armed citizens use their firearms 400 times to stop crime.
Also, how often are LEO's on the scene immediately to halt a crime? The first people there are most often the criminal and the victim. The LEOs arrive afterward.
Try again on that one. LEOs are generally "first responders" after the fact.
...or during... I have always wondered about that FBI statistic. So you are saying in the city of Buffalo an armed citizen stops a crime or engages an armed criminal with a gun 400 times more than police? Funny you don't hear about that. I think once in Niagara Falls have I heard about a crime being stopped by an armed citizen. Other places must be outright dangerous.
You didn't answer my question, when you are out with your gun, do you carry handcuffs too or are you only prepared to kill people.
