Two Police Officer Killed By......

According to this morning's TV news, two police officers in Wisconsin were killed by a Perp. This Perp appears to have planned the attack on Police officers, but not necessarily on these specific two Officers. Using a "Black" or "Dark Colored" pick up truck as a weapon, the Perp deliberately appeared to drive his "Attack Vehicle" directly into oncoming Traffic deliberately crashing his vehicle into the Officer's vehicle, apparently killing the officers instantly. Investigation is continuing into the incident. No mention of the condition of the Perp at this time.
Certainly, I feel for the families and friends of these two innocent victims and do not wish to minimize in any way their violent and unnecessary demise. My heartfelt condolences go out to them.
Hope some bottom sucking attorney decides to sue the manufacturer of the Attack Pick Up! There is no doubt this Dark Colored Pick Up was only made to inflict injury........otherwise, why would it be Black?
We need a 10 day waiting period before picking up such a vehicle ......white and other non-threatening colored trucks could be taken at time of sale, however. Only the very dark Blue, Green, Black, or any other possible "Dark Color" would be subject to the 10 day "cooling off period."
There should be a provision that if the Truck is "immediately needed to move out of an apartment due to eviction" the new owner could use it for a period of 24 hours provided an affidavit to that effect was submitted by the Truck Buyer's Mother, duly attested to and notarized. The Truck would have to be returned to the dealer immediately for the remainder of the "cooling off period." No other exemptions would apply.
Also, Dark Colored Pick Up Trucks should only be equipped with a 5 gallon gasoline tank to limit any type of continuous high speed operation hopefully reducing the possibility they could be used to attack. Front bumper inflating air bags should also be mandatory on these "Dark Colored" trucks and the truck should be only capable of being operated by its owner, insured by the fact that the truck could not be started without the owner's fingerprint being correct on the fingerprint activated key switch AFTER breathalyzer analysis and engagement of the speed limiting governor which is set at 28 mph.
Other devices, contraptions, and regulations should be applied as they show their merit on a continuous update basis of no less than 30 day intervals. Once again, any of the white and lighter colored vehicles would be exempt from these requirements.
Certainly, I have missed much that could be done to these "Attack Vehicles" to render them "safe." Please submit your ideas for implementation so this "Epidemic of Death by Vehicle" may be abated!

I just bought a new black Dodge Ram 1500 assault pickup with sidesteps that are mounted conspiciously beneath the frame. I also bought the large capacity engine and large diameter tires.
Guns are good, Guns are great... please don't throw them in the lake.

This "Old News" is getting absolutely no mention today, just one day later. Why? NO GUN INVOLVED! I think the "Anti's" should be up in arms over pick up trucks, baseball bats, 2 x 4's, golf clubs, Meat Carving sets with more than 4 steak knives, etc., and etc.! What the Hell? Can't these things kill you dead too?
Doesn't take "half a brain" to understand the logic here, in my opinion, but damn those guns! Oh, BOY!
