    Arm the police with 12g shot toys and return the glocks to the manufacture, if a cop needs to use a firearm it should be deadly force, no wing shots, and with a pump action there is the ability to get more than one, even two at once. P or no P

    maca, why don't you stop the next cop you see and have a chat to him/her about the controls they have in place regarding storage of firearms in response cars, and the process they have to follow before getting authorization to use the firearm...

    Might be an eye opener for you...

    Oh, and ask them what their thoughts are about your 12g idea, their response might make a fun video to upload to YouTube....

    I'd run from a pistol but not a shotgun

    They may also look at the rules of engagement

    Nah Toby, the public and media crucifies a cop over here if they shoot someone to defend themselves. You see it time and time again.

    Not only would the officer have to come to grips with the fact they just killed someone, the media would drag them and their family through the news and papers, calling it "excessive force" and going on about how it wasn't necessary, basically calling for the cops head... without being there.

    Screw sending our cops into some of the shit they have to deal with unarmed. It's not like the crims are unarmed.

    I think as a nation we need to harden up to criminals and give some real punishment. Assault a cop in he line of duty and get 20 years,if it doesn't work as a deterent well at they would not be causing no harm to others. I glad none of my kids are policemen

    Run for PM Maca49. I will shift into your electorate and vote for you.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I must be the most frustrated man on earth according to my wife, got to say we need to change the rules for crims.
    Hanging a few would be a start.

    I have rope and although I have never understood why, my grandfather taught me how to tie a hangman's noose when I was a young fellah. Now that that has come to the front of my mind I must see if I still remember how.

    Macca, had a think about your initial comments again (tighten controls and 12g), and thought that you might have been taking the piss by applying gun-control rhetoric to the police. If that was the case, my brain was obviously not in first gear yesterday.

    But having read your latest comments, I don't know - it's kind of Genghis Khan meets Jane Fonda

    + 1 on Time to suit the crime. Some standardisation for crimes taking out the wide range of options would make things
    clearer to the crims. IE: Assault PO or his dog mimimum X Years sentence. Steal car same or burglary or assault or drug crimes or whatever.
    Get firmer on them and no transparency do this result = you get this.
    Support Sensible Sentencing for sure.
    Seen results a few times its the victims and families hurt the most and then a soft sentence to the poor crim cos he s or shes had a hard little life..
    Thats the ultimate smack in the face for the victims and its bull really. Then it seems the crims get a reasonably soft ride through the prison system.. (Note "seems" have no experience at all about this)
    "This is my Flag... Ill only have the one ..
