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!!!!!!!!!!!! |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
