Police tell Detroiters to buy guns in city riven by race issues and crime
City police chief has encouraged residents to arm themselves as stark racial disparities in 'shoot first' laws become clear

I lived over here for a few years now and I have to say you gotta laugh at the attitude of some people. I seen a bumper sticker there the other day
"I'll keep my guns, money and freedom, you keep the change"

Of course he was a poor old white guy driving a wreck of a pickup, it was a scene that painted a thousand words about political demographics in America.

Crime in America is a complicated social issue and not quite as simple as availability of guns.

I still can't figure out what this freedom craic is they are raving about, and no one else that I ask seems to either, but i suppose it sounds good if you repeat it over and over again.

Pretty much. They've gotten it into their heads that freedom is a product of guns, so they just repeat this mantra over and over again until they even believe it in their own minds.

I think the US is in serious trouble internally, they have a whole raft of people who are disenfranchised and have no particular interest in the laws of the country. Incidents like this one will continue to occur and IMO will become more and more volatile and violent as the go on.

Obama is trying to bring them with him but I think for most it is too late and they see no other future than crime and living in the ghettos.

The constitutional right trumps common sense.

A few years ago in CT a similar incident occurred, but the kid shot himself in the head. (The father in that case was a doctor or surgeon, not some redneck toothless hick)

These fvcking people need to cop the,selves on

Bullets and Burgers (and Beer)

What could possibly go wrong?

[mikehunt]

Seen the manager interviewed and he didn't know how it could have happened. Now I'm no expert but arming a nine year old with an uzi has the potential to cause issues. I hear they're increasing the age limit to 12 years of age now. Least that's sorted.
