Open season on Law enforcement?

At any rate, Thriller and HH, (but mainly Thriller since you mentioned it) if you can find a link to other counties' guaranteeing the right of their citizens to possess guns without any specific limitations, please post it.

To my knowledge, the U.S. is the only county where it is guaranteed by our Constitution. And where the Supreme Court has issued rulings knocking down restrictions that have been passed by national, state and local jurisdictions.

But on the other hand, I've never really researched the issue, perhaps we're not as unique in this aspect as I think we are. Like I said, links would be helpful.


EDIT: In answer to my own question, I found this link https://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2010/12/have_gun_want_to_travel.html



an interesting article here: (actually, I think it's a book review)

buit mexuico has overwritten their constitution and its pretty hard to get a gun
 
I wonder if stories like this have anything to do with the current mood of the populace regarding LEO's.

Millis Police Sergeant William Dwyer told reporters at a press conference that ballistics testing determined the only bullets found at the scene belonged to the officer.

I’m very upset and don’t know how to feel right now,” Dwyer told reporters.

Well, isn't that rich.

Karl Denninger's take on it:

You're upset?

One of your sworn officers fabricated a story that led to a manhunt for someone who didn't exist?

You created a lockdown in an entire town and their schools, you violated the constitutional rights of the residents of the entire area by searching for a phantom that never existed, city property was wantonly and recklessly destroyed by your so-called "officer" (which must now be paid for by the taxpayers of said town), said officer almost-certainly committed multiple crimes by shooting on, around or over a road (since he shot his own car) and all you have is that you're "upset"? (For the uneducated it is typically a crime, and often a felony, to shoot on, over, or intersecting a road except as an act of lawful self-defense. It certainly is a crime in most cases here in Florida (Sec 790.15))

Let me guess - after that you'll be surprised and unhappy if I come upon one of your officers who is on fire, I happen to have a glass of water, and I decide to drink it rather than use it to put said fire out?

That goes double for DeKalb County in Georgia, where officers fired on and shot an unarmed man after entering the wrong house for no reason other than the fact that the door was unlocked (they had received a report of a burglary but ignored the described location of the residence at which it was allegedly occurring and not only shot him, they killed his dog and shot one of their own officers as well.)

And while we're at it, let's add to the list cops in Texas who shot a man who had his hands up and was clearly surrendering, and then claimed he had a weapon in-hand and was attacking them. Their lie was discovered when not one but two videos surfaced, which the cops were unaware of at the time. Of course the officers involved are on "paid leave" at the present time.

But yes, it's just a very few incidents, you see.... never mind that any ordinary citizen who pulled any of this crap would be instantly arrested, transported to jail, and held until they were arraigned and made bond -- and in the case in Texas, said bond would likely be denied given that the person shot is dead.
