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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
