Brain -> Guns in Pentagon, Vegas Shootings Came From Memphis Police - AOL News (3/14/2010 10:57:11 PM)

What better illustration is there of the "sacred" right to keep and bear arms than this?   Criminals’ guns being recycled so more criminals can commit more crimes using the same guns as before.  I sure feel safe knowing this, don't you?

Since these are already criminals’ guns, they should have been destroyed.  Who would think that these guns would leave the control of the police and court system to commit more crimes?   

 
Guns in Pentagon, Vegas Shootings Came From Memphis Police - AOL News

WASHINGTON (March 14) - Two guns used in high-profile shootings this year at the Pentagon and a Las Vegas courthouse both came from the same unlikely place: the police and court system of Memphis, Tenn.

Law enforcement officials told The Associated Press that both guns were once seized in criminal cases in Memphis. The officials described how the weapons made their separate ways from an evidence vault to gun dealers and to the shooters.

John Timoney, who led the Philadelphia and Miami police departments and served as New York's No. 2 police official, said he doesn't believe police departments should be putting more guns into the market.

"I just think it's unseemly for police departments to be selling guns that later turn up," he said, recalling that he had once been offered the chance to sell guns to raise money for the police budget.

Yeah right. It would have been much better had their guns come from other sources.

This is not an example of the right to keep and bear arms.  It's an example of criminals committing criminal activity. 

Even criminals in YOUR country get guns.  Yes, most of the guns originated in the US.  (I'm not sure how many gun manufacturers there are in Canada.)  And about a third of guns used in crimes in Canada came from domestic sources, stolen from Canadian registered owners.

I fixed that sign for you.  It's much more accurate now.
