And as for deciding to selectively enforce laws, that’s a horrible travesty of justice and darn near an impeachable offense! Except when GWB did it as a signing statement, that’s just customary procedure and not worthy of comment.
The link to “Fast and Furious”, guns, and cops. 2001-2010: 541 U.S. police officers murdered. 362 with handguns, 99 with rifles, 36 with shotguns, 2 bombs, 2 by knife, and wait for it, 36 MURDERED (not “accidents”) with vehicles! DOJ FBI statistics.
Folks might want to discuss this with Mr. La PIerre with regard to those POLICE killed by guns, as opposed to all the knives out there. Also all those Blunt instrument homicides folks keep brining up? A grand total of 2 police in 10 years killed by blunt instruments.
If this is the record on ARMED POLICE, and we have over 30,000 gun deaths every year, half in criminal activities, does the average, untrained guy on the street stand much of a chance??
And of course another point; while any death of an officer IS a tragedy, ONE fatality linked to “fast and furious” doesn’t hold a candle to other “access” to guns.
Like conservatives hate anyone or anything that is not a conservative? Not much room for compromise is there? A perfect snapshot of how American society is devolving.
@rightisright – this may shock you, but US citizens aren’t all angels either. President Obama has removed more illegal immigrants annually than Bush ever did. Trespassing is not a capital offense. Technically, ALL of them were criminals as illegal immigration is illegal. Unfortunately being ignorant is not.

Now, give Scalia a break! In this cartoon, he’s out looking for snails lurking on the broccoli. And another way to try to damage the president.
