Absolutely retarded.
I bet the cops didn't like doing it much either but they have to obey orders or else they get fired and their future is ruined because of the nonsense being on their permanent record if they were to tell whomever came up with the dumb idea to got to hell. I'm surprised they didn't try to have the police turn in their firearms as well, would have been just as retarded. Certain politicians would rather all of the criminals have guns but the good people that obey the law are not allowed to.
I know who I'm voting for.
I would say the mayor is appropriate. The military commanders and police chief were most likely following orders. If they were not, then I would say they should be with the mayor or whoever else had the authority to issue that retarded order. Granted you are suppose to follow orders but the key wording in that particular general oder is "Lawful orders."
A very good point.
Seno:
Or, if it were a common practice which it is not, than it would also justify folks not wanting to register their arms.
Some laws do little more than "make" criminals out of otherwise honest citizens.
You all know how many people die because of "self-defense" weapons? In Germany all firearms are highly restricted and our rate of ppl shot down by guns is way below normal- and thats the way i like it, you don't need guns you need police! Its crazy in america. seriously how many ppl could defend themselves against criminals ... they have a gun but don't know how to shoot or even aim- thats nonsense. i know of no story where the heroic shop-owner killed the thieves with his personal self defense pump-gun. And even if he does... taking lives will take its toll on a civilian even if its self defense... let them rob you ... material valours are way below the life of an human being and can be regained (insurance)
but may be for many its the last resort... i don't really know the exact situation in america... i can only speak for germany. But i don't think its a good thing to get more weapons into the world for civilians- its just money making for the big companies- they don't care about you.
