After the eighth school shooting in seven weeks – some gun control proposals

A never said the majority of police officers are biased.
But the ones that answered the survey are clearly biased as they expressed a determination to neglect certain laws if they don't like them. What kind of police officers are those? They get to pick and choose what laws to enforce?

As far as me producing a contrary survey, why would I have to? Your survey isn't valid to begin with.
You haven't posted anything that proves anything either way or even gives us a reason to debate about what the majority of police officers think.

All I'm saying is that your survey doesn't prove anything. I tried to post a link to the survey but the site screwed up. Here's the pdf.

 

From your link:

And so on, a very good article as it points out how hard it is to determine the causes of reduced crime. To continue the quote from where you left off:

 

I'll go through this again...one more time...then I'm just going to ignore it.
The AR15 was developed by the ArmaLite corporation as a variant of the select fire AR10. The AR10 was used by many nations as a military rifle. The AR10 was also sold in limited quantities to civilians in the U.S. with the automatic mode disabled.
The AR15 was developed from the AR10 based on the Army's new six pound weight limit. The AR10 weighed too much. So they lowered the caliber and reduced the parts dimensions.
The AR15 was marketed as a combat weapon. General Curtis LeMay requested 80,000. The request was denied because the M14 was in use and it used a different caliber of ammunition.
So the original AR15 was a military weapon.

After continued debate and testing (the charging handle was re-located) the AR15 was renamed the M16.
When Colt decided to produce a civilian version of the M16 (AR15) they disabled the auto fire and again called it an AR15.
Same gun.

In my own words.

 

I never said gun registration doesn't do any good, you did.
Right, few automatic weapons because of the restrictions.
Do you understand the problems with assigning causality?
No law in my state that I have to register serial numbers on guns
Read Storch's FactCheck link.
Yeah, they're coming for your guns, all of them......

 

LOL, You know I really try to have serious debates here but when you don't even take the time to read what I post, or for that matter what you yourself post, I feel I'm just wasting my time. And if you are reading this stuff then you clearly aren't comprehending what you read.

I'll post it again:
Question #14 on your survey asks the opinion of the responder to a situation in which a leading law enforcement officer would not enforce a law requiring more restrictive gun legislation. In other words the police chief or leading police enforcement official would disobey the very law or laws they have sworn to uphold, thereby making them in violation of the law. 48.8% would support non compliance with the law by their superior officer or officers.
This alone is enough to condemn the entire survey as it illustrates that $48.8% of the respondents will not uphold the law and in fact back those that also would defy the law.
Same with #15 although the rate drops to 44.9%. I can't believe these officers would actually admit to picking and choosing which laws they would enforce.

Let me restate. If a law is pasted that requires stiffer gun laws and the chief of police ignores it, almost half of the police in the survey would also ignore the law.

 

Yes, but unfortunately the AR15 was designed and marketed as a combat weapon and an order for 80,000 was sought for use in combat and the only difference between those 80,000 and the civilian version is the disablement of the auto fire function. Automatic firing is not the only criteria for a combat weapon.

 

Of course I condemn any law officer who tells me he or she will selectively enforce only the laws they want to. If I had my way they would be immediately fired. That's not an opinion, they said they would support not enforcing laws, not that they didn't like the laws.

I really don't care what these guys think about the uselessness of laws, their job is not to think about the laws their job is to fairly enforce those laws. It's the domain of the public, the courts, and the legislatures to determine the uselessness of laws not police officers. When they put on that uniform they become agents of the law, period.

 

Geez...I've been saying this for weeks!

The AR 15 is an M16 with the automatic feature removed. A military weapon!
But You don't get it !!!

You think the only thing that makes a gun a military weapon is that it has an auto fire mode. Not it's design, original intention, or capabilities.
