Beg pardon, but how is the gun owners thread similar in any way to a thread about some rightwingnuts suppressing the 1st Amendment. It is about gun hobbyists & the shooting sports, not controversial political topics.
There are already gun control debate threads in the CR.
And I am not whining to anyone to move your thread, just said it belonged in the CR in the first place.

Then you must have a problem with the Longhorns and Colt McCoy.
as Diablo stated, it is probably impossible for every cop in a good sized department to know all his/her fellow officers, much less have a clue what they are all doing.
we can say the same for the law profession.
Edited to add:
But it is interesting to see you think I support crooked cops because I called you out on your absurd blanket statement I quoted earlier. Do you really think that way?

Why?
Are you disagreeing with the conclusion that cops cover for one another, either through affirmative act or by omission? Or do you disagree with the conclusion that such covering renders them scum?
The Devil answered very well for me:
16 minutes ago, El Diablo said:My personal opinion of the profession in general aside (hint, it's not favorable), it's a big leap to assume that with as many cops as there are working in a metro department that they even know each other, much less what sort of people their co-workers might actually be. I've got 500 "coworkers" in this building, all working for the same company. I know very few of them as a percentage of the whole and very few of those do I know even reasonably well and probably NONE really well. Taking your premise to a subject we're all familiar with it would be like assigning blame to the entire football team for the actions of one dumbass. Shit don't work that way in real life. Labels and fitting people into boxes is lazy.

At age 8 in 1952, my first BB gun was a Daisy Pal, then got a Benjamin .22 pellet pump at 10.
My first real firearm is the Winchester Model 42 .410 pump shotgun gifted to me by my grandpa in 1956 for my 12th birthday.It is still in my safe, in 98% condition. My youngest grandson will inherit it. That same year my parents gave me a Ruger Standard .22lr semiauto pistol for Christmas.
The very first real firearm I bought for myself is this Ruger Single Six. I, with my Dad, walked into Petmecky's Sporting Goods on Congress Avenue in the summer of 1959 and bought it new with money I had earned mowing yards. After untold thousands of rounds through its pipe it still locks up tight as a tick and shoots straight, even though the finish has all worn off the grip frame. My older grandson will inherit it one of these days.

Hogwash, and everyone knows what it is.
The Surly CR is like an infectious disease and has been spreading to this forum for at least a year. There is a reason why the majority of the board regards it as a pariah. But Surly CR assholes are an entity among the general mob of assholes.
But think what you want. I don’t care.
