I think you are mistaken . This is not about buying new cars. where did you get that idea from? the kids were in stolen vehicles, am sure you can infer that reading the article.

I can't see what was going on in the car with that clip. But the jury, I am sure, saw evidence that they felt Justified his actions. Perhaps BLM could wait till the investigations are finished and any trial is completed before they protest. It would save them quite a bit of embarrassment for all the times they jump the gun.

I'm confused. Are you recommending we license all gun owners like we do for cars and require registration and testing like we do all cars, and we have strict laws for guns like we do cars?

Are you anti-gun control or pro-gun control because it sounds like the latter.

Yep.... One can never be sure how serious people are on here, I've seen some pretty outrageous things that the poster was dead serious about.

I am saying its quite obvious in today's PC World that being tough on criminals is not PC. Its better to blame inanimate objects for society's problem instead of the criminal element.

This is a ridiculous paranoid post based on propaganda. In the past nine years only one law was passed regarding guns on a federal level. This law was around carrying fire arms in National parks. As is typical deflecting from the topic this post is about, which has nothing to do with guns. Poor, poor gun owners they have it so rough everyone is out to take their guns.

I have no fear about my guns being taken away or some increase in laws. I own 3 handguns and 5 rifles.

What's the point? That parents are somehow negligent? Are they the only ones?

Detroit Police Hit Five Children During Car Chase, Leaving Two Dead

"Detroit police continued a high speed chase even after two children were struck and killed. As they continued the chase, three more children were struck because of the officers’ reckless actions."

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ries/30187827/

"Many in law enforcement, including the Justice Department, have recognized the danger of high-speed chases and urge officers to avoid or abort pursuits that endanger pedestrians, nearby motorists or themselves. At least 139 police have been killed in chases, federal records show.

"A pursuit is probably the most unique and dangerous job law enforcement can do," said Tulsa Police Maj. Travis Yates, who runs a national pursuit-training academy.

The Justice Department called pursuits "the most dangerous of all ordinary police activities" in 1990 and urged police departments to adopt policies listing exactly when officers can and cannot pursue someone. "Far more police vehicle chases occur each year than police shootings," the department said."
