I am NOT saying anything about taking away our right to have guns, I'm just saying a restriction on semi automatic weapons would help keep some of these cops from getting slaughtered.
Injecting emotion into the argument doesnt back up your point. Cops, fireman, soldiers, get killed all the time, its a dangerous job, but do you actually think banning guns is gonna stop it? A single shot shotgun spits out a lot of lead too but even if they banned those, do you think it would stop a thug from getting one and using it? do you think a maniac that is willing to commit murder cares about gun laws?
Even if if you could magically snap your fingers and vaporize alls guns ,I could think of a dozen ways to kill a bunch of people at once w/ stuff I could buy at home depot and a gas can and Im a nice guy

Imagine what a motivated murderous thug can come up w/?
