Seems a bit off topic, no? Go start a thread about police and I'll be glad to oblige you.

How else could I interpret that? Your comment seemed to reflect your disinterest in those killed by drones because it wasn't perpetrated by civilians on civilians. How much time to you spend in here dictating what everyone else should be allowed to own based on the actions of .00000000001% of the population vs how much time you spend deriding this administration for its use of murdering civilians with drones? Something tells me those numbers will be a wee bit lopsided.

Yes yes, I get it, slippery slope, false dichotomy, straw men, blah blah blah, oh goodie, you don't actually have to address anything. You win!
