Crazy people do crazy things.
I bet the perp wasn't Fred the farmer or Ralph the rancher that shot them. But Fred and Ralph will be included in the "gun-toting redneck" crowd anyway.

4 cops shot dead in Washington. When will these people learn??

Which people 'need to learn'? The cops? Don't go to a coffee shop before starting your shift? The coffee shop? Don't let cops come in to have coffee before starting their shift? The killer? Killing people is wrong? I think we all know that one.

I don't understand the love affair with guns. Pretty useless piece of equipement unless you need to kill or rob someone.

.... or keep critters out of your crops and barn, or have fun at shooting competitions, or collect firearms as items of good craftsmanship, or get food for your meals ....
So they are only useless to you and others with little thought, apparently.

Ya sure. Good thing those 4 cops had guns eh?
How about that? Gun owners that weren't the shoot-anything-that-moves, trigger happy clowns. Go figure. And there you were thinking we're all the same.

A couple of times that I recall ...If I didn't have a firearm while prospecting I might have been dead or at least badly mauled...

Or to defend yourself.

Canadians defend themselves from criminal or animal attack with firearms between 60,000 and 80,000 times a year.

Gary Mauser

Americans defend themselves with firearms up to 2.5 million times a year.

So what?

The Swiss are armed yet they don't shoot each other all the time.

It's cultural.

....before you attack remember I am a gun owner.

You agree to it being a `cultural` thang for our neighbours to the south, to be shooting themselves up on a daily basis for the tiniest excuse?8O


Why would I attack you???

I agree 100%......

When will whom ever learn?? I assume you mean Americans.....and yes, they learned 250 years ago about the value of an armed population......
The value of an armed population?????
What I see is the more people who have guns, the more this sort of thing will happen. The armed people who kill policemen have no value.

Perhaps Colpy meant, if it means defending what you`ve stolen?
