VERBATIM POST

People who want to take guns away from citizens often argue that its dangerous for citizens to have guns. They will say, innocent people will get shot in the crossfire in the event an armed civilian uses a gun to stop an armed criminal.
I wonder what theyll say about what just happened in NYC?
According to reports, a laid-off womens clothing designer named Jeffrey Johnson, 58, decided to shoot his ex-boss. He pulled out a .45 pistol and did so and was himself almost immediately gunned down by a gaggle of city cops. Problem is, the cops ending up shooting more people than the gunman. Eight people were shot by the cops. (news story here.)

Will the people who demand citizens be disarmed because innocent people might get caught in the crossfire now demand that cops be disarmed, for the same reason?
If not why?
Will the reckless cops who clearly cant shoot straight - be held civilly and criminally responsible for shooting innocent bystanders as a citizen surely would be?
If not, why?
Dont forget that cops as a matter of law are under no obligation to protect any individual from harm. They are law enforcers not protectors.
Protection of our individual persons is ultimately up to us.
Provided, of course, we are permitted to do so. And provided, of course, that we aren't caught in a cop crossfire.
