Subject: Ohio Trooper's Coalition: a criminal organization?

Editor:
On 1 October 2001, the Ohio Trooper's Coalition posted a News Release. This release was published at http://www.jointogether.org/gv/wire/press_releases/reader.jtml?Object_ID=545990 where I read it today.

QUOTE---

Columbus, OH - The Ohio Troopers Coalition, ... officially announced its opposition to legislation pending in the General Assembly allowing adults to carry concealed weapons. Especially objectionable, troopers say, are provisions in both bills that allow for concealed weapons in automobiles.

"Two words sum up our objections best -- road rage," said Jim Roberts, Executive Director of the Ohio Troopers Coalition. "Take what everyone knows is happening more and more on our roadways with angry drivers, and then add handguns to that mix," Roberts said. "You don't have to be a chemist to see that formula is going to blow up in our faces."

---UNQUOTE

My comments:

1. Since this argument (or minor variants thereof...usually an assumption that fender-benders will turn into shootouts...wild west style) has been used EVERY time concealed carry has been proposed over the last couple of decades, and since at least 17 states have passed a must issue concealed carry law anyway, and since NONE of those states have seen this fatuous prediction come true, I must conclude that your organization

a. is ignorant of the facts, or,

b. thinks that Ohio residents are more insane or evil than the residents of other states, or,

c. knows the truth, but supports Victim Disarmament for some other reason.

-If you are ignorant, find and read (assuming you are literate) a book called More Guns, Less Crime by John Lott. Ignorance of the FACTS is no excuse, or does that attitude only apply to the sheep...massa?

-If you think that we (residents of the State of Ohio) are more insane or evil than residents of other states, then GET THE HELL OUT. You owe it to your families, and WE DON‚T NEED YOU, OR YOUR PATRONIZING ATTITUDE, especially in Law Enforcement!!!

-Now, since you have been given the tools to fix your ignorance, and you have chosen to stay in Ohio, should you continue with this position I am left to conclude that your motivations are suspect. Those who support a logically unsupportable position do so from fear or greed (well you MIGHT enjoy knowing your policies are causing deaths and injuries to those you have sworn to serve, but I don‚t accuse you of that... yet). Are you too fearful of the possible loss of political power if you don‚t support the Statists? Are you afraid of thinking? Peer pressure? Or is greed (lust for power or money) more descriptive. Do you get a rush being powerful (armed) amongst the weak (disarmed)? Do you enjoy being above the law? Are you being paid in cash?

What would induce you to violate your sworn duty and support unconstitutional (U.S. and Ohio) restrictions on Human Rights?

Why should you, and your members continue to receive support and respect from the citizenry?

2. I don't believe that the average Patrolman on the beat is stupid enough to support this tripe. Which means that I believe you (the organization bosses) are playing politics with your position of supposed authority. I wonder who is being paid off, and with what.
