    LEO huh? Then you more than anyone else should recognize the importance of gun control if what you maintain is true.

    And you want to use the violence of the state to prevent people from using the self-defense tools of their choice. That seems rather mean and selfish.

    I have.

    I was teaching a young girl how to fight, but it does not always work.
    I also taught her to conceal a gravity knife and how to use it.

    I was also broken hearted by the crime scenes and many dead victims, SVU would call me for information on suspects.

    Do you know what victims survived ?

    The priveledged few with pistol licenses.
    Gun control ? As a priveledge ?
    Dead victims ?

    By the way, mine was the Cagney & Lacey era of LE in N.Y.C. after Kojack and the beginning of Blue Bloods....

    Neither does a punch in the nose, but it's a start.

    Not hardly, I have had my nose broken many times and it never put me out of the fight.

    And the guy that broke my nose, got his lights put out.

    All it did was annoy me, and I flattened the guy that broke my nose those many times.

    Last guy that tried, was called a justified shooting by the Detective in charge.

    >>>>"Drop it!'' Mr. del Pino shouted, and fired a warning shot. He then ordered the disarmed man to lie on a bench, pointed his chrome-plated .38-caliber revolver directly at the assailant's face and warned: ''You move and you're dead!''<<<<

    Well I'm glad it was chrome-plated.

    Anyway, good for him, but that's not exactly what you said. He was, but then again not really, a victim. Yes, he was onboard, but he wasn't attacked.

    Only in NY would this happen.

    Speaking of NYC, I was thinking about all the things NYC police officers witness. That reminded me of a story on Homicide: Life on the Street. It was taken from a real story told by a NYC detective to a cab driver. Did you see it?

    My father refered to those exact subway cases as "Rolls" where someone was pushed or slipped and ended up crushed cbetween the subway platform and the train.
    Very sad, my father explained how the victim lived long enough to ask for a Priest, make a will, have final confession and absolution, and when the train was moved, died instantly.

    Yeah. This story really got to me when I watched it years ago because I've seen guys cut in half with bouncing betties, and talked to them while putting them on a poncho. They usually lived for somewhere between 5 and 20 minutes. All torso, a few strings of flesh, bits of remaining genitalia, then what was left of the legs hanging loose.

    Very heart rending, I saw many other types of Victims in the aftermath helping out SVU in suspect IDs.... My Dad saw much of that too.

    It was my impression that you wanted a law preventing people from having pump action shotguns. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

    I don't carry a firearm. I'm asking you for a link to the so far non-existent post. Don't wimp out on me so fast.

    Getting chest pain? Sweating? Slurring your words?
