With the shock of the San Bernardino massacre painfully fresh, City Council members signaled Thursday they may join a growing movement of cities pushing gun manufacturers to adopt safety measures.
Council members Thursday voted 6-0 for Tampa Police Department and city attorneys to look into joining Do Not Stand Idly By, a campaign that aims to use the purchasing power of local and federal government to lobby gun manufacturers to develop gun safety technology and set tougher standards for gun dealers. |

| Methinks cops need guns more than Glock and S&W need discounted low-margin sales to police departments. |

They're going to use their purchasing power to coerce gun manufactures to develop smart guns.
That's rich. The police and military do not want so called "smart guns".
And if you believe that smart guns will prevent mass killings such as in San Bernardino, I have a bridge I want to sell you.
These brain dead liberals are delusional if they actually believe that any laws will stop criminals, wackos, sickos and terrorists from getting guns. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
