PENDLETON — Oregon State Police and La Grande police are seeking the
public’s help in trying to find who stole an assault rifle from a
state police car.
State police reported an unknown person stole a Colt M16A1
semi-automatic rifle between Thursday at 4:30 p.m. and Friday at 8:30
a.m. from a state police car parked off the street outside the
trooper's residence in La Grande. The rifle was locked in a mounted
bracket in the car, state police said.

==============
Why do the police need an assault rifle? Why do they need to shoot
down airplanes and destroy trains? Why do they need a weapon whose
only purpose is to kill as many people as possible in the shortest
amount of time? Why can't they store them securely?

A Colt M16A1 is not "semi-automatic:" it's a selective-fire (semi-/

ROTFL!

That's the way, Klaus: give `em back the same line of crap they use
against the pro-gun people who want those "scary-looking black
guns" (assault weapons).

I favor the British model - the police don't normally carry guns. The US
police are far too militarized - this is not supposed to be a Police State
but it is looking more and more like one.

A "police state" has nothing to do with weapons. Unless the people are
disarmed.

If the police weren't able to be armed in America there would be no police
force.

People who have to face violent criminals need firearms to protect themselves from those criminals. That means the cops AND the private citizens. We don't live in a Pollyanna world and it is foolish to pretend we do.

Drone plan reveals broader objective to kill Americans

The Obama administration's drone plan, which implements the use of predator
drones to target and kill suspected terrorists overseas, took an ominous

the administration plan to use drones to kill suspected American terrorists
on U.S. soil but that such a plan is entirely legal, even without due

Nope. "UK police *do* normally carry guns" is not the same as "less than 6%
of British cops carry guns". Klaus would have to change his statement in
order to be correct. His statement is on the order of claiming that
rightards are rapists.

Well, less that 6% of them do normally carry guns, which is what Klaus said
since he said only some carry normally.

All you've done is confirm he was right and quantify the percentage that
normally carry.

That's YOUR straw man.

And let's see what he did say that you snipped out.

" And Baxter is lying. UK police *do* normally carry guns. Just not all of
them."

Hmmm.

So is <6% something like "not all of them"?

I think it is, and so you confirmed he was right and all you've done is
quantify the percentage the DO normally carry.

Klaus was wrong. The general statement "UK police *do* normally carry guns"
is flat out wrong. The pathetic attempt at a qualifier ("Just not all of

your particular reply.

Klaus stated "UK police," and your original response was "I favor the
British model - the police don't normally carry guns" and "Less than
6% of British cops carry guns."

Your "goal post shift" was from Klaus's "UK" (which includes England,
Wales, Scotland and Ireland) to "British" (which is generally accepted
to be England; as in "British Army," etc.).

Meanwhile, you "conveniently" ignore that "the Police Service of
Northern Ireland (formerly the Royal Ulster Constabulary), Northern
Ireland Security Guard Service, Ministry of Defence Police, Civil
Nuclear Constabulary and the Diplomatic Protection Group are issued
firearms as a matter of routine."
--Police use of firearms in the United Kingdom
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_use_of_firearms_in_the_United_Kingdom

Your "facts" even ignores "the Force Firearms Units, Armed Response
Vehicles, and certain specialist units of the Metropolitan Police."
--Ibid.

Moreover: "There were 6,868 authorised firearms officers [AFOs] in
England and Wales as of 31 March 2009, according to government
figures*."
-http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10260298 (8 June 2010)

And JFYI; one reason there are so few AROs is that the Home Secretary
basically doesn't trust his "Peelers" with guns!

---

*"The number of authorised firearms officers (AFO's) was 6,868-an
increase of 88 (1.3 per cent.) officers overall on the previous year."

Nope. I do not ignore them. You cannot truthfully ascribe to a group a
characteristic that only a minority of that possess. Shall we say that
conservatives are criminally insane? Shall we say that conservatives are
losers living in their parents basements?

Sure you can as long as you indicate it doesn't apply to the entire group,

Seems when you don't want to talk about something, you either ignore it, lie

Uh, Baxter: did you even _read_ your "source"?

Citation: Jennifer Brown, Stephen Sargent, (1995) "Policewomen and
firearms in the British police service", Police Studies: Intnl Review
of Police Development, Vol. 18 Iss: 2, pp.1 - 16

If you are as "mathematically challenged" as you are "truth
challenged," that data is seventeen years old now.

You have anything more recent to back up your assertion?

I also noticed that you _conveniently_ "snipped" and ignored this:

"And JFYI; one reason there are so few AFOs is that the Home Secretary
basically doesn't trust his (actually `her') "Peelers" with guns!"

Care to comment on that here and now, Baxter?

FYI:

"Officers who wish to become Firearms Officers have to undergo a
rigorous selection procedure. During this they will have to
demonstrate their knowledge of the law, their appropriate and
proportional use of force, their communication skills and their basic
common sense."
-http://www.pfoa.co.uk/201/why-we-have-armed-policev2

Does this mean that "ordinary" Peelers (to-wit: non-AFOs) DO NOT have
"knowledge of the law, their appropriate and proportional use of
force, their communication skills and their basic common sense"???

No WONDER Home Secretary Theresa May doesnt want her "Bobbies" having
guns!

As of 2009, there were 6,868 officers authorized to carry weapons in England
and Wales. Within London's Metropolitan Police, out of a force of 33,000,
around 2,700 officers were authorized to carry guns, though, unlike American
cops, the vast majority of those aren't armed on a regular basis.

Let's see: 2700 authorized out of 33,000 is about 8% - still in single
digits.

So, you admit that British cops do regularly carry guns, just not all of
them do so. Just as Klaus stated.

Looks like you're still desperately proving he was right all along.

"Authorized to carry" is not the same as "regularly carry".

In fact those "authorized" only do so on occassion.

> Looks like you're still desperately proving he was right all along.

Sorta depends on what your definition of "regularly" is. If your
definition means all, almost all, or most of the time, Klaus is wrong.

So, you're telling me that when the non-authorized officers call on them to
respond armed because they need that firepower those officers are going to
go all the way back to the station to get their guns just to turn around and
drive back out to their patrol districts so they can respond to the officer
in need?

Seriously?

Wow, every time I think you're gotten as stupid as you can get, you show
your stupidity is greater yet.

That remains to be seen, but I'm betting you're wrong and you will end up
proving it and that Klaus is and was always right in what he said.

Just as you have up to this point.

Scout/Klaus/Johnson/etc are simply playing a childish game - trying to

Baxter is now desperately trying to equate going from his original
claim that "less than 6%" of the Peelers are armed to his newest claim
"about 8% -- still in single digits" is insignificant.

“All warfare is based on deception.”
— Sun Tzu, `The Art of War', 6th century B.C.

However, he chooses to ignore the double-digit fact: that is a TWENTY-
FIVE PERCENT INCREASE in Authorized Firearms Officers in London ALONE!

“Statistics: The only science that enables different experts using the
same figures to draw different conclusions.”
--Evan Esar (1899 - 1995)

And like Mark Twain said: "He [Baxter] uses statistics like a drunk
uses a lamppost: for support, rather than for illumination."

You're the one who's disparate. Meanwhile:
---------
And, to be crude, having few guns does mean that few people get shot. In
2008-2009, there were 39 fatal injuries from crimes involving firearms in
England and Wales, with a population about one sixth the size of America�s.
In America, there were 12,000 gun-related homicides in 2008.

http://www.economist.com/blogs/lexington/2012/12/gun-control

----------
Because of gun control and cops that don't carry guns, the death toll,
adjusted for population, from guns in Britain is 1% of the US.

"Deflection": not just a way to block a slap-shot in hockey.

Home Invasions: US vs. UK

In which country is it more dangerous to be in your home, the US or
Great Britain? If you said Great Britain, you're right... if you're
talking about home-invasion robberies.

Violent home invasions have become a serious problem in the UK, fueled
in part by laws against gun ownership and violence in self-defense.
British law holds that a person who kills an intruder in their home
can be charged with murder; a self-defense argument does exist, but
the threshold is very high.

In the US, by contrast, burglars who commit home invasion
statistically have just as great a chance of getting shot as they do
going to jail -- a significant deterrent even when homeowners don't
own guns. If you're a burglar intent on committing a home invasion,
you don't know if the homeowner has a gun and an itchy trigger
finger... and you probably don't want to find out the hard way.

As a result, a movement is afoot in Great Britain to strengthen
homeowners' rights to self-defense. Efforts to loosen restrictions on
gun ownership, however, may still be a ways off.

How Britain resolves this issue will be of interest to other parts of
the world, especially where crime rates are high. It should also be
watched in the US, where we agonize over the consequences of our
Second Amendment rights. Certainly, if Britain makes changes and home
invasions decline, gun-rights advocates in the US will be able to show
that gun ownership has benefits, even for those who choose not to own
a firearm.

"Death" isn't the only factor in self-defense, Baxter.

Google "DGU" and see how many involving "death" you find.

Moreover, you are placing too much confidence in the propaganda of
Piers Morgan:

Parsing Piers
January 14, 2013
[...]
"How many gun murders where there in Britain last year? ...It's
actually 35 -- against 11,000 [in the U.S.]"

A video of clip from that interview, as well as a good debunking of
Morgan's statistics by Reality Check, can be found here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tRJ0ls_W9XM#!
[...]

"After a school massacre, the U.K. banned handguns in 1998. A decade
later, handgun crime had doubled."

Below is the total murder rate (not just "gun murders") in the UK for
the 14 years before and after the handgun ban. Do you see any
reduction in the rate associated with the ban? In fact, you see a
rapid rise in murders almost immediately following the ban. The
average for the 14 years prior to 1998 was 11.4 homicides per million;
the average for the 14 years since was 13.4 -- an 18% increase.

Offences and Intimate Violence 2010/11 (Table 1.01)

From 1993 to 2011, the UK homicide rate rose 3.6% and the U.S. murder
rate dropped 51%. In that time, the UK enacted a handgun ban.
Conversely, the U.S. expanded Concealed Carry. More guns, less crime?

Read the rest for yourself here, Baxter:

Wonder why this is true, Baxter:

"[T]he U.S. has 4 times more murders than the UK, but the UK has 5
times more violent crime than the U.S."
--Randall Hoven

Could it be because the criminal element in the UJ has nothing to fear
from its UNARMED and DEFENSELESS citizenry?

same means to eliminate portions of the Constitution they don't like.”

That is correct. Some conservatives are morons just as some liberals are.
You being a case in point on that one.

Some conservatives are also rapists, just as some liberal are.

I acknowledge that you've finally figured out the principles involved here.

I also acknowledge your indirect admission that Klaus was correct all the
time.

Hmm... if about 8% of the population were murderers....while Baxter consider
that insignificant?

Indeed, given how he has his panties in a knot over gun crime...one has to
wonder what percentage of the population do those criminals engaged in gun
crimes represent?

I bet it's less than 8%.

Seems something is only insignificant when he wants to ignore it.

And you think that's suppose to mean something?

Repeat after me, "Correlation does not imply Causality".

Repeat until you understand it.

Meanwhile since we're looking at other countries.

In recent years Mexico has about the same number of gun related homicides
each year and they have a population much smaller than the US

Let me guess....you're now going to say that straight international
comparisons are invalid because other conditions matter.
