We're the Only Ones Off On Our Own Enough

...and the gun went off. [More]

Let me give you some other recent examples:

• Policeman dies in Gujarat after his gun goes off accidentally 
• Maine State Police lieutenant not disciplined after gun went off inside 
• Off-Duty Officer's Gun Goes Off 
• Aiyana Stanley-Jones Trial Begins, Prosecutor Argues Cop Error Caused Detroit Girl's Death  

If this can happen to highly-trained "Only Ones," imagine how dangerous it would be for the rest of us to be trusted with guns!

What's one of the main purposes of government again...? To secure the blessings of liberty...? [More]

$60K seems kind of cruel and unusual. I guess the unnamed inspector and city law department spokeswoman think just following orders provides some kind of immunity for personal responsibility in being a willing and well-compensated part of this official arrogance.

Interesting though-- note when the well-connected get caught in a similar bind (albeit in a different anti-gun jurisdiction), well, let's just say the results are different.

Hey, the more enemies these tyrants create, the better I like it.
