      Well according to the Supreme Court, police have no duty to protect nor serve the public. Literally, they can watch you get murdered, watch the murderer get away, and still be 100% fine.

      Police protect the govt. Period. Nothing else.

      Police is for robbing people and slapping labels on them to artificially reduce their market value. They’re not gonna do anything about mass shootings because they won’t be there when they happen and don’t really care so long as their own friends and family are fed. They’re also not going to support disarming the population because they will lose that fight by numbers.

      Guns are fun but so is having a society where I don’t have to live in fear of dying. There should be some rules on who can carry a gun.

        are you dumb? thats not what I even meant, if you have ideal justice system and law enforcements, people doesnt need gun for their security, it happens even in so called 3rd world countries.

          Where were the police when the police robbed me for everything I ever worked for and kept me in jail until I lied for them to let me out? Oh right. Wish I had a gun so they would be dead.

      Be careful treading that line. For gun loving muricans, they love their 2nd amendment more than their actual constitution.

        It’s especially fun when it turns out the police are nobody’s friends. Oh wait.

        inb4 “why would you shoot someone who just wants your TV?”

        Someone who just wants to steal my TV isn’t breaking in while both cars are parked out-front.
