    Personal responsibility does not not prevent the worst people doing the worst stuff. Or good people being influenced to become bad. Thats why we require a regulated society. To a greater or lesser degree depending on the context.

    Take Germany and what happened in WW2. “Good people being influenced to become bad”. Very good example.

    Hence why I treat a lot of ‘information’ from the media with a fair dose of scepticism.

    People are always gonna do that - it's why we have prisons.
    God gave us the Ten Commandments which is about all society needs to run without hiccups - and I see our current political party added to them by enacting 24 new laws the other day.

    I see that guy take a swipe at another with a machete last night, taking off two fingers, then he took a swing at another. I don't know what the current laws are regarding that, I doubt they're supportive of that behaviour - in which case 'regulated society' doesn't really register with him - in which case he needs a good talking to IMHO.

    Stopping police from car chases is amongst one of the most retarded this government has done. Because of the lack of deterrents shitheads behavior is getting worse.

    In our society today there are so many influences on people, which to whatever degree, people buy into.

    The pressures involved in money when you're in debt. Work pressures, familial pressure. Lack of down time etc all take a toll on you mentally.

    Then when you take in any sort of substance abuse could possibly be a large contributing factor.

    There's just so much about this incident that isn't known, and probably never will be. It's just sad that these young officers have paid for it with their lives.

    Unfortunately, that risk just goes with that job.

    its all well and good having laws...they are good.... but worse than useless if they are not being enforced...and in many cases enforced hard.
    thats not a swipe at the hog tied thin blue line....the whole judical system has been getting its teeth pulled one by one for many years now.
    PERSONALLY I would like to see the return of corporal punishment...the thought of being beaten with cane or tied up in stocks in main street might just make some stop and decide nope not doing that.... and if did decide to do it...would actually give the powers that be ,a tool they can use thats not a wet bus ticket.
    when a kid punches another at school and is expelled because of it........its because the school board has no other tools in the tool box any more..and the results of it are sad to watch.six of the best outside the principals office and get back to class laddie,dont do it again...worked for many many years for good reason.it still would work.
    our entire judicial system is suffering from same ,just by differing degrees.

    the first 10.......thats a pretty good guideline to live by and look at the written laws of most countries and those 10 are echoed . black n white..keep it simple.

    Discussing the number of laws and their background is not really religion.
    The guy mentioned "God gave us the 10 commandments" Where do you think that comes from? It's Judeo-Christianity at the very least...

    Guys take caution. You are straying over a forum “line in the sand”with this.
    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
