Whether it was justified or not, and it certainly sounds like it was, let's not overlook the terrible plight of gun availability in Georgia and its role in this tragedy.Police say two officers were working off-duty security jobs at an apartment complex on North Hairston Road Sunday night.
They heard a woman screaming.
Police say the woman was in a struggle with a man at the apartment.
And when they approached him, he pulled out a gun.
Police say when the man refused to drop the weapon, the officers opened fire, killing him.

Yep, it's too bad that those cops had guns. If only they were unarmed that guy would be alive now...

ReplyDeleteDoesn't seem too terrible to me. It resulted in one less domestic abuser.
No tragedy there. Guns were used for their intended purpose - to stop the criminal.
ReplyDeleteI used to be a sergeant in another Georgia city called Kennesaw, which is also in the metro-Atlanta area. You may be shocked to learn that ALL heads of households were required, by law, to own a firearm and ammunition for that firearm. Guess what...we had the lowest crime rates anywhere in Georgia.
Sorta blows your theory. Don't be such a hoplophobe.
Richard, Thanks for bringing up the Kennesaw experiment. I'm curious to learn more about it. Off the top of my head, I wonder why we don't hear about it continuously if it blows the gun control theory apart. How's the domestic abuse in Kennesaw, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you write something about it and I'll make it a new post.
