and how does this meet the SOP? Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #1

Discuss... the use of firearms... nt Electric Monk Jan 2015 #2

I think you are reaching but it is up to the host Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #5

The cop, with the aid of a firearm, committed an act of violence against himself. nt Electric Monk Jan 2015 #7

if I tried that twisted logic over in your group Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #9

Most folks don't consider accidents to be "acts of violence". beevul Jan 2015 #32

Actually, I think most people would consider being shot in the stomach to be a pretty violent event Electric Monk Jan 2015 #33

Clearly you do. beevul Jan 2015 #34

vi·o·lence (n): destructive force or energy Electric Monk Jan 2015 #35

Great, now define "gun violence"... beevul Jan 2015 #36

Absolutely. Shooting someone while defending yourself is a violent act, by definition. Electric Monk Jan 2015 #37

Cute, but by your definition, being hit with a gun butt is "gun violence". beevul Jan 2015 #38

I think I'd more accurately call that "blunt object" violence, whether a gun butt or an ashtray. Electric Monk Jan 2015 #40

Would you. beevul Jan 2015 #41

Good night. I have to get up in the morning, but I will return. nt Electric Monk Jan 2015 #42

Nice that the great host in RKBA group allows it Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #44

Do you bemoan the fact that you can't troll-post how awesome it is to be male in the Feminism Groups Electric Monk Jan 2015 #45

Which of those blocks posters for correcting misinformation? N/T beevul Jan 2015 #46

All block posters who share their *opinions* that run contrary to the Group's SOP. nt Electric Monk Jan 2015 #47

Now you're just being cute. beevul Jan 2015 #48

GCRA is not unique in that. Both those other groups have blocked users for what was posted in GD. Electric Monk Jan 2015 #49

How... beevul Jan 2015 #58

When they started that group Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #51

Good catch. GGJohn Jan 2015 #53

what a croc Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #52

Yes, I'm consistent in my belief that the only reason you "pro-RKBA" advocates would want to post Electric Monk Jan 2015 #54

My last and, IIRC, only OP in GCRA... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2015 #55

and... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2015 #56

Nope Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #50

Or, you've misread the 2nd Amendment. GGJohn Jan 2015 #39

IMHO this is a good thing we can discuss how make our daily lives safer. ileus Jan 2015 #27

very true statement Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #29

It's to be expected...they think they've presented some kind of "gotcha" BS. ileus Jan 2015 #30

Thus disarm everyone that isn't a cop........ kioa Jan 2015 #3

or, require gun manufacturers to have better safety mechanisms to prevent accidental discharges? Electric Monk Jan 2015 #4

never liked Glock type Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #6

Looks like a Smith & Wesson Shield. Skeeter Barnes Jan 2015 #11

Yes, and ... Straw Man Jan 2015 #24

What was the gun that discharged in this instance? What are it's safety features? kioa Jan 2015 #10

EM would like it carried Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #12

Please feel free to link to me saying anything of the sort. Thanks in advance. nt Electric Monk Jan 2015 #15

I did forget this Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #17

He's a police officer? SheilaT Jan 2015 #8

Rearranging stuff in your pockets when one of the things is a deadly weapon Warpy Jan 2015 #13

Yep a good holster Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #18

At the risk of repeating myself, SheilaT Jan 2015 #23

not enough Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #28

I always carry OWB... ileus Jan 2015 #26

He should lose his job. ncjustice80 Jan 2015 #14

Good thing he wasn't handcuffed behind his back- he may have shot himself in the head NBachers Jan 2015 #16

I just did a quick google, and that's "happened" at least three times. Electric Monk Jan 2015 #20

"Officer down!" mindwalker_i Jan 2015 #19

Would this be the same sort of police employed to enforce gun control? Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2015 #21

Nah, that will be handled by robots :D Electric Monk Jan 2015 #22

Why did he remove his pistol from his pocket? Glock leg strikes again. ileus Jan 2015 #25

WTF? sarisataka Jan 2015 #31

'cop-type'guns--> accident prone, says nothing about 2nd-A issues quadrature Jan 2015 #43

Interestingly, back when cops used revolvers ManiacJoe Jan 2015 #57
