An internal arms race to give the NRA lobbyists proof they are earning their gun manufacturers money.

Every time the GOP comes up with removing regulations the country is hurt and costs us all.
Aww, poor thing. Haven't had your cereal yet?

Not a leftist.
Time was up. Your one that would allow a jumper to shut down the Golden Gate Bridge for 6-hours so the cops could analyze him and offer him some warm cookies.
15-minutes then push him over. End of story.

No. I am, however, fine with using drones - from air or from the ground - when an armed mass murderer is resisting arrest and threatening to kill anyone who is trying to arrest him or her.

Further, this method of ending the situation prevented the perp from being subdued and lawyering up!
Technology knows no bounds and am glad someone on the force had the enginuity to fab-up such an "accessory".
Oh, the humanity!

You mean the same technology and the same drones the hypocrites on the right whine about Obama using rather than putting US servicemen at risk, that technology and those drones?

WHAT a bunch of baseless hypocritical whining!
