Police have not duty to protect citizens. Ther are a number of court

Oren, I'm getting the sense that you think I claimed "Police have a duty to
protect citizens." *Correct me please, if I am mistaken.

I was merely explaining to anti-gun Harry that guns were essential to taming
the wilderness of America and making it the country it is today. *Guns were
essential to the British in taking over Australia as well. *India, too.
What I said actually agrees with you. *I said that *I* felt that "*I* had a
civic duty" to put down someone I saw walking through the park shooting
people like Howard Unruh, our nation's first single-incident mass-murderer,
did. *I also talked about realizing I needed to protect myself because the
cops took 30 minutes to respond to a man trying to bash in my door. *Not
sure how that morphed into "police have no duty to protect citizens."
Please explain.

pop a cap in his ass

stuff snipped

People think "bust or pop a cap" is recent ghetto speak but if you listen to
the dialog of the 1969 film "True Grit" you'll hear it used (which freaked
me out) as it was over 100 years ago *It's like finding a doodle of Kilroy
in the Lascaux caves in France.

Others have traced its usage to books that predate the Civil War and suspect
it relates to percussion cap rifles.

"True Grit" is fiction. Probably subsidised by the NRA.
Can't you ever forget the Hollywood trash?
Re wilderness.
That era of ethnic cleansing is long past and with it the need for
guns.
Dunno why you bring up irrelevancies.
