Didn't come up with it, I heard it offered as a reason in some of the coverage on the shootings and his speech.

I guess BHOs teleprompter has a handle on the outrage and indignation emoticons, it just needs to work on the symbols for compassion so BHO can deliver the speeches the way Alexrod wants him to.

Wow, I can see your respect for the law. I expressed my concern and lack of understanding for th 5.7 which I have no use for. Some were respectful and nice enough to inform me (thank you) and some like you just want to stomp all over me. I thought the forums were about sharing useful information and learning from each other, In my profession we call that team work. To set the facts I have over 23 years in law enforcement. Started in the Sheriffs Dept with a S & W 357 Highway Patrolman (pinned and recessed I might add). Now in PD carry Sigs and Glocks (40 Cal Speer, Gold dot). I started in the streets and now after 5 promotions I am a commanding Officer. Don't eat shit food thanks, mountain Bike riding, working out and guns....Thanks for asking. Put my life on the line many times to help people...and yes thats what you get from some people like you...and by the way DD on my job stands for Detective Division.

The gun is sold everywhere and the more people have it the sooner your going to hear a horror story of cops getting killed by it. Any comments?

Now, aside from the fact that the armor piercing ammo is not readily available, and of course the fact that many weapons are capable of penetrating body armor... maybe you can settle for really crappy body armor that all guns can penetrate and then we can ban all guns as "cop killing" guns.

The 2nd Amendment is to preserve our freedoms. Guns that penetrate body armor are good. How is that for a comment?

I have a good idea for a law. If I can't carry it, a cop should not be allowed to either. How is that for a comment?

You want to protect yourself? So do I.
