    | SCOTUS has clearly ruled that the police have absolutely no duty to protect any citizen:  they only react to crimes already committed, or in the process of being committed, and then to apprehend while protecting themselves:  they have no duty to put their own lives in danger to protect anyone. 
 The author of this drivel suggests otherwise: the headline should read "...Police" instead of "...Protect".
 
 Those, like the writer, who seek to disarm law-abiding citizens, removing their means of effective defense against criminal predators, merely aid and abet those criminals by doing so.
 
 The firearm is a tool: nothing more.  And so is the author of the opinion piece in the Seattle Times.

    | When they sell firearms back to the public, the buyers have to go through a background test. They don't get them if they fail it!!!!!!!!!!!! |
