Ex-Sheriff Invents a Bullet-Dampening Device
How about banning guns?
Just a thought.
How about using the death penalty? Today's criminals know they are going to get 3 squares a day, a library, TV, internet and more free time than the working stiff. Quit supporting their ass and remove them from society!
Banning guns... from cops?
Guns equalize humans. Without a gun, the strong dominant. The Weak are enslaved. Women are subjected to men's demands. Guns level the playing field. Stop thinking of a tool as something bad. Think of how the person uses it.
Banning guns for cops...so, how do you propose they fight criminals, with "peaceful freeze gel guns"?
Lets just ban going outside, if were throwing out terrible thoughts
Simply on the basis of tech solution, I find this very interesting. (Although I'm skeptical about plastic slip on device for a handgun--meh).
Responding to the use case, here's a recent example from 12/14 in NYC:

This seems silly to me, especially since many cops already carry a taser as well as a gun. But I would love to hear an actual police officer's opinion. Anyone?
Guns are rarely shot once and I don't see any advantages over other, 'non-lethal' alternatives.
So, the second and subsequent rounds are "regular bullets", and when guns are fired, they are rarely fired once. Also, most shooters, Police included, are not great shots. To have a cumbersome attachment on a service pistol that only makes the first shot less lethal sounds to me like it would, at best, put all involved in a more dangerous position. If they have to draw their guns, they think their lives are already in danger. If they have to pull the trigger, they will not wait for the "perp" to drop before firing the second shot.
Did he say it's like a major league baseball player hitting you in the chest with a hammer?
