Felons laugh at gun laws (http://transsylvaniaphoenix.blogspot.com/2008/08/felons-laughed-at-gun-laws.html)
New findings from FBI about cop attackers and their weapons blow the Democrat politicians reasoning "more gun laws reduce crime" out of the water
New findings on how offenders train with, carry and deploy the weapons they use to attack police officers have emerged in a just-published, 5-year study by the FBI. (http://www.policeone.com/writers/columnists/force-science/articles/1243754/) Here is just an except, for the complete report click on the link.
"Predominately handguns were used in the assaults on officers and all but one were obtained illegally, usually in street transactions or in thefts. In contrast to media myth, none of the firearms in the study was obtained from gun shows. What was available “was the overriding factor in weapon choice,” the report says. Only 1 offender hand-picked a particular gun “because he felt it would do the most damage to a human being.”
Researcher Davis, in a presentation and discussion for the International Assn. of Chiefs of Police, noted that none of the attackers interviewed was “hindered by any law--federal, state or local--that has ever been established to prevent gun ownership. They just laughed at gun laws.”
