"Reasonable regulations." Hmm...those words again. The same words that made segregation ok in Plessy vs Ferguson?

Besides this being the DUMBEST thing any cop could say after the Dorner fiasco, I think we're seeing a real shift in public opinion. First it was in NY and now in Cali. Like a wolf challenging the pack leader, people are looking at the government and saying, "Why should I do what they say?"

And did anyone else find it ironic that the final shootout took place the same night as the SOTU speech?

I see no video link in that link but a gun is an offensive weapon. Of course a gun intimidates bad guys. Do the wrong thing and you might get shot. Same reason some guys think twice about breaking into a home. Might get shot. Thats intimidating.

Ok sorry im blind.. So yeah hes a liberal douche bag. Bu hes right. Shooting someone with a gun is always an offensive action. Technically it is in defense of your life but you must go on the offense to do so.
