Study:Chicago criminals avoid gun stores, shows,

Posted: Aug 31, 2015

As for specifics regarding sources for purchasing guns, some of the inmates indicated that gangs have individuals with a Firearm Owners Identification Card who buy guns then sell them to gang members. Others indicated using “corrupt cops” who seize guns then “put them back on the street.” The inmates made clear they do not walk into gun stores to buy guns. Which proves a point Breitbart News, Gun Owners of America, and other gun rights groups have made for years; namely, that background checks place a burden on law-abiding citizens which criminals easily avoid. breitbart.com ;

Criminals buy guns on the street, image that. - Another story the MSM will not

That's why they are called "criminals" - Police should stop this

and if they would spend their time fighting real crime, instead of :

1. Your license plate is not on display on the front of your vehicle.
2. You held eye contact with me, so I pulled you over.
3. You did not signal when I raced up behind your car.

and actually tackled real crime, maybe this would be better. Of course, you do need honest cops....another subset of a larger problem.

I feel this in our town frequently, almost as if the police are afraid of the real criminals...so they piddle around with signals and stop signs.

My next door neighbor is a cop. I'll let him know how - you feel about cops and post the

had a cop for a neighbor. I was driving by and his garage door was open with no car in garage and no patrol outside, and front door open(patrol usually was, if home). Unusual...rang door bell, with my elbow (no prints). He came out, asleep, and very sheepish, his wife had left it open and they just looked like they had been home-invaded. He was very embarrassed at his own safety display.

No point to this, other than, I don't want to see cops hurt either. The only reason I mentioned cops not doing their job was in response to the article stating that police officers in Chicago were perhaps selling guns back to the street....and I think they are avoiding crime in my town.

The point is all the gun laws in the world aren't going to - stop crime. They only affect

politicians will ever address the actual solution to the illegal guns murdering and causing armed robbery. Go after the criminal individuals, the gangs and organized crime.

Yes, you are going to have to sweep entire neighborhoods, blocks, whole city sections.

The case you mentioned is ONE cop in ONE extreme case. Good grief.

HOUSTON (AP) -- A man charged with killing a suburban Houston officer first shot the 10-year veteran in the back of the head and fired a total of 15 times, authorities said Monday.

Shannon J. Miles, who is charged with capital murder, appeared briefly in state District Court in handcuffs and shackles. The 30-year-old Houston resident said very little, other than to answer the judge's questions. He is being held without bond and has two court-appointed attorneys; neither was at the courthouse.

Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson would not comment on a motive to reporters. This weekend, Sheriff Ron Hickman said the attack was "clearly unprovoked," and there is no evidence that Goforth knew Miles. "Our assumption is that he (Goforth) was a target because he wore a uniform," the sheriff said.

Anderson read the probable cause statement in court, saying that police first received a call at 8:20 p.m. Friday. When authorities arrived at the gas station in the Houston suburb of Cypress, they found Deputy Darren Goforth, a 10-year veteran of the force, face-down. He was already dead, she said.

Surveillance video from the gas station shows that Goforth, 47, had just come out of a convenience store after he had pumped gas and that Miles got out of his red truck, she said.

"He runs up behind Deputy Goforth and puts the gun to the back of his head and shoots. Deputy Goforth hits the ground and then he continues to unload his gun, shooting repeatedly into the back of Deputy Goforth," Anderson said.

Goforth was shot 15 times and a witness saw the shooting, Anderson said. She added that the shell casings match the .40-caliber Smith and Wesson handgun found at Miles' home.

The killing evoked strong emotions in the area's law enforcement community, with Hickman linking it to heightened tension over the treatment of African-Americans by police. Goforth was white and Miles is black.

The nationwide "Black Lives Matter" movement that formed last year after 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot and killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, has sought sweeping reforms of policing. Related protests erupted in Texas recently after a 28-year-old Sandra Bland, a black woman, was found dead in a county jail about 50 miles northwest of Houston three days after she was arrested on a traffic violation.

"We've heard Black Lives Matter, All Lives Matter. Well, cops' lives matter, too," Hickman said Saturday.

Miles' criminal record begins in 2005, when he was convicted of criminal mischief, giving false information to police and resisting arrest, according to records. In 2006, he was convicted of disorderly conduct with a firearm and sentenced to a maximum of 15 days in jail. He was convicted of evading arrest in 2007, and his most recent conviction came in 2009 for again resisting arrest. Records show he was sentenced to several short stints in jail, anywhere from six to 10 days.

start creeping up on you in the darkness.

"Armed Black Panther members marched in front of the Waller County jail and shouted, “You’re gonna stop doing what you’re doing, or we will start creeping up on you in the darkness.”

The statement was made just two weeks prior to the assassination of a Harris County deputy sheriff.

Shannon Miles, a black male, allegedly came “creeping up” behind Harris County Deputy Darren Goforth in the darkness on the night of August 28. While Goforth stood at a convenience store pumping gas into his patrol vehicle, Miles allegedly raised a pistol and shot him dead.

The comments, made by a leader of the Houston-based chapter of the New Black Panther Party, were captured on a short video clip (below) from the scene by the Houston Chronicle."

Inciting murder, just like Charles Manson - did years ago.
