Well I for one would be glad to know the cops could now dedicate more of their limited resources to protecting me from violent crime......yah right. The one thing they WERE good for, they're no longer doing in many areas. I know they're often well intentioned, but by the time they get to the scene of the crime, the crime has already happened. Especially violent crime. Oh hang on bad guy, police are coming and will be here in, oh say.....half an hour or so. Better run! Nope, give me my 1911 any day and when the cops finally get here, they can pull out their trusty notepads and pencils and do what they do best....take a report. Or, if they so prefer, I would be more than happy to take care of that myself too and save 'em the gas money. Hell, I'll even take care of disposing of the bad guys corpse for 'em too. I'm a full service citizen. And guess what, taxpayers don't owe me a dime!
