    If it wasn't for those hijinks by the NRA, those cops wouldn't have these guns.

    And Ricter is ok with schools having grenade launchers.

    Hmm. Too much firepower in the hands of emotional beings. I may have to rethink my position.

    Implying that you actually gave some thought to your position in the first place.

    Of course I did. If grenade launchers are too much in the hands of wannabe campus police, even if trained, then AR-15s are too much in the hands of wannabe civilians, particularly if untrained and without a background check.

    You obviously know nothing of AR-15's or background checks.

    Just curious, but how did you come to that phenomenal leap of logic? And what is a wannabe civilian?

    I personally know some 'wannabe civilians" better trained in firearms handling than many police officers.
    In fact I have it on good authority that I personally have received more realistic self defense / close quarter handgun combat training in the last year or so. Than most civilian police officers get in their entire careers.

    Oh, there's no doubt. I have a friend who is running an airsoft facility. For those of you who don't know what airsoft is, we're talking pellet guns - as realistic as real ones. The facility is massive. I think I've talked to this before, but the facility allows groups of kids to rent hours on the course, and it also does CQC training for the Miami-Dade Sherrif's department and local FBI folks. For giggles, they ran some of the better kids up against the law enforcement folks and the kids smoked them.

    LOL

    There was a 20 + year vet of the ATL PD that went through one of my classes with me last year.
    When it came to gun prowess he made Barney Fife look like Rambo.
