The agreement lets cops out of using these abortions (pointed out to me by a TX buddy).

So I suggest a campaign of calls to the mayor, city council, police chiefs and governors. Write the local paper and call talk radio.

Demand that as soon as these smart guns are made, that your local LEO must use them.
Destroy their current service weapons!!

The reason - we want to save them. Bill is correct.

We don't want stolen police guns to be used by bad guys.

We don't want police to have their gun used against them.

Call right now and demand Smart Guns for Smart Cops.
 
Absolutely. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. If these guns are so safe, then LEOs must need and have them too. If they're not failproof, then LEOs won't use them. And if LEOs won't use them, why should we as citizens have anything less? If we do, then we're the serfs and LEOs/gov't officials are the nobles.
 
Good points, guys.

Just who the hell are the cops that they should be allowed to carry 'dumb' guns when we can't?

Their lives are NOT worth more than the ordinary citizen's.
 
How about if we turn all this energy to NOT requiring smart (Dumb) technology for anybody. Trust me LEOs with half a brain do not wish this on anybody. I understand the point you are making, but they will come up with a reason why not to use it for LEOs.

Side note, if law enforcement is exempt that means it must be crap.

Futo Inu,
I never thought of my self as a noble before, I am going to work tomorrow and ask for a raise.....hehehe. :)
 
I wonder what the chief will say when they issue us "smart guns" and I start wearing my backup gun on my duty belt right in front of my issued "smart gun?"

^%*%#*@! typos! :mad:

I'm all for equal treatment of LEO and us poor mortals. I'm as against this idea as I would be furnishing LEO's substandard training, or a patrol car with bald tires.

FWIW, IMHO, every cop should be allowed to carry want they want. If it means MP5's allaround and Thunder Ranch for every last one of them, just show me where to vote yes on the levy. All I ask in return, is to be given the same chance OK? Since they do it as a job, and I do it to draw breath, I feel it's up to me to ante up for it. Since my responsibility is flight and not pursuit, it changes the whole complection of the arguement. If a bad cop wants you gone, a dumb baton or a blanket in a cell is enough to do the job. The gun is of little use. It's a tool. There are other tools in the garage.
 
I got to thinking about this, and an idea came to me. What about getting a pro-gun congressman or senator to introduce a bill that would remove the leo/military exemption?
This would make the smart gun provision useless, since law enforcement agencies and the military will want a gun that is 110%
foolproof. We can use the argument that there are more civilian defensive uses of gun than there are LEO, and a non-functional gun would be more dangerous.

I contacted Senator Hatch's office this morning to ask about this, and was told to contact him by e-mail. Perhaps we could try
Tom Delay and Bobb Barr as well. But Hatch is the judiciary committee chairman. There may be another committee that would have greater jurisdiction over HUD.

Any ideas?

Smart guns are too good for rank and file LEO's or citizens.

They should be reserved for the college graduates at BATF and the Secret Service. In fact, we should ship some smart guns over to Pakistan or Bangladesh, wherever it is that Clinton is now.

That way, when some crazy mujadeen with an AK demands an audience with the president, his guards will have the benefit of this new government program.
 
Isn't there some stat out there tht shows just how often a cops gun is used against him. From what I remember the percentage of killed LEOs was pretty high. Wasn't there a story posted here about a kid who stole his dad's issue gun and killed another cop before he was himself killed??? How despicable that these mayors would not want the hard working members of his staff to be safe. They are just as entitled to the benefits of this new technology that we are. Just cause they are civil servants does not make them second class citizens. :)

We have already spent quite a bit of time fighting against various asenine gun control laws with VERY little success. One of the reasons for this is that the gun control lobby has been able to exempt/separate certain groups from being affected. Thsi allows for the divide and conquer to work just that much more efficiently. If we fight to make sure that the LEO', BATmen, Secret Service, Mayors... cant live life according to some double standard we may have a chance at having some of these a$$holes change their minds, if for nothing more than self preservation. There is nothing like a good dose of reality, as in this dumba$$ thing might decide to not work cause its too hot... and get me dead, to bring things into prespective. Just ask how willing would that Ninja be if they thought that someone with an elementary knowledge of electronics could disable their guns and club them to death with a lamp.

I have a smart gun. It is controlled by a high tech computer, and has a power source that will not fail. No batteries are needed, and the computer not only prevents anyone but me from using my weapon, it chooses when to fire, what to fire at, and how often to fire. A sub-program in the computer even keeps track of the number of rounds fired, and reminds me to reload.

I call it my brain.
