Gun Control Reform Activism

johnston: Where did I say I supported repealing the National Firearms Act? Assault rifles are machine guns under the act.

See what I mean readers? he creates phantom concerns by asking tangential questions only meant to distract & shift focus off more legitimate & relevant concerns asked by his adversaries.

johnston: they {cops} are not more law abiding.

So you post a suspect link which doesn't disprove what I contended; the graph is suspect in itself, & your link 'copblock' an anti-govt disreputable source.
The copblock graph did not include robbery statistics, an integral component of violent crime, which, by simply subtracting the other felony crimes from the total violent crime rates listed, I peg at approx 150/100k civilian robbery rate v 50 cops, disincluded surely since robbery stats portrayed cops in a good light.
The copblock graph did not include property crime statistics such as burglary, larceny, auto theft, why not?
Even the total violent crime rate from this suspect graph shows civilian violcrime rate at 454 to cops 432, which in itself sorta supports my case that cops are more responsible (albeit barely, but again suspicious).

As far as 'copblock' goes, it evidently was founded 2010, & since then looky what has transpired: (aug2012): Adam "Ademo" Mueller, co-host of radio Free Talk Live and founder of CopBlockorg, was found guilty of illegal wiretapping and sentenced to 3 months in jail. Mueller maintained no wrongdoing, Atty said Mueller's intentions were "to disrupt, to be disobedient, to slow down the court system and clog it,". .. was found guilty of secretly recording conversations with police Capt... High School Principal... and school secretary.. without their consent. Co Superior Court jury deliberated 50 minutes before returning verdicts on 3 charges. Mueller, of Jackson, Wis., has maintained that he did nothing wrong and remained defiant.. Mueller, who co-founded CopBlockorg, was seeking their comments on a video he posted on YouTube ..showed confrontation between West High student 17, and police detective in the school's cafeteria.zzzz was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest..police dept review concluded Murphy did not use excessive force. http://www.unionleader.com/article/20120813/NEWS03/708139898

MORE!: The trial of 2 men who belong to organizations with strong anti-govt and anti-law enforcement views to begin in District Court, Adam Mueller and Pete.. are facing charges of illegally recording images and conversations with authorities at County Jail .. E and Mueller, are self-described “voluntaryists,” or people who believe that government should be abolished and replaced by a completely voluntary society based on the principles of natural law. They also believe that all forms of human association should be voluntary. The pair ran into trouble when they showed up at the jail last summer to bail out friends who were being held on drug and weapons charges. E and Mueller -- founding members of Cop Block, an organization dedicated to videotaping wrongdoing or heavy-handedness by law enforcement officers.. http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2011/07/trial_of_anti-government_defen.html
