Gun Control Reform Activism

johnston: No, the actual study that shows the methodology, and the peer review critiques to show they are valid.

Go take a hike, be your own research monkey, the briefings I provided are sufficient to show you wrong.

Johnston: Liberal cops is an oxymoron. --- I didn't write 'liberal cops', you did. I mentioned 'liberal police agencies' like which emanate out of liberal districts & cities - they are not oxymoronic.

johnston: I am for logical and well though out regulation.

translation: I oppose guncontrol & the nra taught me how to say so.
Observe how johnston operates, readers - equivocates, changes the subject with smoke & mirrors, egomaniacal views where he can't be wrong, strained & fractured reasoning, progun slant which he can't hide despite his efforts. He's cornered. If you come a wolf in sheep's clothing don't fake righteous indignation if you're outed. Clffrd, you reading?

I put up a thread in good faith only to be asked a bunch of irrelevant questions and personally attacked by another without saying anything about the OP but I'm the disrupter?

Another lie; reread the entire thread, I referred to the OP several times & if the questions were irrelevant, why'd you answer half of them?

johnston's OP: .. it allows some private citizens, retired cops, to buy guns and magizines other New Yorkers can not.. Carrying them on duty is one thing, off duty and after they leave the force, is quite another. Are cops and former cops more law abiding than the rest of us? Unless I see studies saying otherwise, I think not.+

Retired cops may not be 'more law abiding' than everybody, but they generally are more law abiding than most all the people, and they generally are better gunhandlers than 90% of the public. They can handle violent situations where an assault rifle may truly be needed, far better than the avg gunowner with one.
You would really rather let every eligible person in new york who wants to have an assault rifle be able to have one, yet here you argue on a whim that retired new york cops, some having spent careers in LE, be denied because the general law disallows other new yorkers from having one. What you deem a double standard really isn't, since the law disallows youthful boozers or immature hotheads who want an ak47 cause it's 'neat to shoot so fast', from getting one, and just about any other dimwitted wannabe gunnut, while allowing a small previously tested group of excops to have them.
No, not all NY cops are fair & square, but they're more fair & square than the large majority of the american public.
(And personally I don't really care whether excops could have them or not)
