The police have no legal obligation to protect any individual citizen...the Supreme Court decided that several years ago. Their responsibility is to determine who the offenders are and to apprehend them. If they were obligated to defend us, then everyone who has ever been a victim of crime would be suing them for failure to dot heir job. So, if they aren't to protect us, then what are we to do? Maybe Obama will come to our rescue...NOT!All the more reason for private citizens to own a gun.

The vast majority of gun owners are careful and act responsibly. It's the few exceptions that make the news and make everyone else look bad.All gun transactions should have to go through a licensed dealer. A background check is needed. A sieve can not hold back water. Why have a law that I can't get a gun at store A, but then show B can sell to anyone. Might as well not have a gun law.
Law needs to be changed so that the owner of the gun is responsible for the actions that that gun was used for. Needs to be locked away in a safe place. Toddler should not be handling a gun and accidently fire a shot. Gun owner should be held responsible. Have any gun you want, but act responsibly.
I agree, but there are way too many accidents involving guns and kids. Someone needs to be held responsible for them.The vast majority of gun owners are careful and act responsibly. It's the few exceptions that make the news and make everyone else look bad.

How many people were killed by guns in America last year?
Answer:
The Centers for Disease Control says 11,493 people died from gun homicides.
Gee, they must've left out those other 19,000 you made up .
A few exceptions? Define "FEW"... over 19000 gun owners kill themselves each year with guns. Over 11000 men women and children are killed by guns each year in this country.
THATS 30,000 gun owners.
And you call that "A FEW EXCEPTIONS" ????????????????????

How about Statistics from the FBI and Justice Department on Gun MURDERS ??
12,500---55 % Of them Minority gang bangers --killing themselves in drug and gun wars. Over 90% of those are Black on Black ----Where is the Outrage ???
There is a HUGE difference --between LEGAL gun owners and Gang Bangers !!!

tOS,
You can spout your own opinions or hatred --You cannot make up facts.
The urban cities are "war zones" with each gang fighting over Turf --drug sales and illegal gun sales.
The caskets are filled with "gang soldiers" and many innocent victims .
Where do you get your numbers from? How many people who are getting killed are doing something illegal to begin with and are shot by police? You show me how these numbers are legit then we can have a discussion. It's always a tragedy when innocent people get killed, but it sounds like there is more to the story than what I'm reading in your postA few exceptions? Define "FEW"... over 19000 gun owners kill themselves each year with guns. Over 11000 men women and children are killed by guns each year in this country.
THATS 30,000 gun owners.
