Can Cops Protect You?

That’s a question asked often in the campaign against gun violence. The answer is unalterably, NO. The cops themselves (other than the cop politicians, of course) will be the first to confirm that. In most cases, they are MINUTES away, and the illegally-armed criminal is THERE. Before the nearest cop can even start his car the criminal can kill you, hurt you, or just rob you—and all the cops can do is DOCUMENT it. They will take witness statements, clean up the scene, dispose of the body or bodies, and (maybe) someday punish the criminal (if they can catch him). Why otherwise intelligent people who seem to be unalterably AGAINST guns, I don’t know. Maybe they aren’t as intelligent as they appear. Or maybe their only goal in their crusade is their own aggrandizement. (Just common sense)
