    You mean on a political forums system? Now were I to offer you personal attacks then you would have a point; but there were no personal attacks. I was arguing the position and plus pointing out the consequences and where the notion for the original perspective came from . . . it came from political correctness from leftist political correctness.

    These criminal thugs seem to be very fragile. If a knee on the neck can snuff them out a shot to the leg surely will. Just the sound of the gun going off may give them a heart attack.

    You don't? Interesting difference of opinion there. Good thing then that I did not take any personal shots but only argued the merits of the idea while pointing out where it originated and what the consequences would be were if enacted.

    To get even more technical.

    That "shock wave" when a bullet hits a torso or abdomen is what(hopefully) incapacitates instantly. You don't get that when you shoot a limb.

    The purpose of shooting a purpose is to incapacitate them instantly. Shooting a person in the limb is more likely to piss them off than incapacitate them.

    It's just like when tazers were embraced by the political Left as the end all and be all of safe take down techniques . . . and then some thugs died from the process and immediately they enacted criminal murder charges against police officer who's crime consisted of trying to apply leftist political correctness on the job during life and death struggles.

    Just from my training, - you rarely pull your firearm (even at a "low ready position") unless you intend to place a fatal shot... "Full ready position" of one's firearm (hope you are 'loaded for bear')...

    Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden criticized the violence that has arisen alongside protests over the killing of George Floyd, while also expressing his support for peaceful demonstrators.

    Everytime a shooter fires a weapon at a living target the shooter Must assume the target will die. Otherwise the shooting is not justified. This goes for all firearm owners, not just the cops.

    Joe seems to be doing fine to you?

    Would you be interested in buying a parrot?

    My dear sir, (@Pants) to have a cogent dialogue there needs to be a fundamental understanding of the facts involved... Police are NEVER allowed to shoot a fleeing "suspect" unless other lives would be somehow extricated in the perpetrators abscondence / egress.

    - The verbiage you have chosen in further perplexing.. "Assailants" are usually coming at one <-- as in closing in... (LE ostensibly) Obviously there is a difference between "Assailant" & "Fugitive" / "fleeing assailant" .... Right?

    Yeah he seems to be doing fine in this election. He has a real shot of winning. Don't make the same mistakes that the other side made in 2016.

    My questions come from sincere ignorance and a desire to learn more. I'm grateful for those who have taken the time to enlighten me.

    Basement ~ Bunker ~ Biden... ROTFL, :)

    Even liberal rags such as the Boston Herald (et. al.) are crossing their collective fingers in the hopes that Creepy Joe just stays w/ scripted basement regurgitations... (wouldn't want anything extemporaneous to come out of his mouth)

    In order to effectively obtain a shot to a leg a shotgun is needed. But that has a tendency to blow the leg off.

    It's because of how uninformed and unrealistic the opinion was.

    Yup, uncle Joe should be toast, but if you watched the coverage of the pet media, they all lauded his message, telling everyone listening that he is the savior of us all.. What a joke.

    Did you really call the Herald a liberal rag?

    That may be the funniest thing I have ever heard on PF.

    Pile on - no problem. Opinions are funny little things - they come from everywhere. Like yours of my post. Of course, I stated at the beginning of mine that I was, basically, ignorant of the facts. I guess, going forward, I should just offer opinions and ask questions about that which I am expert. Imagine how quiet this forum would be if everyone took that approach!

    Well, if you say silly things people will point that out.
