Marvis Cofield is afraid. He wants to set an example for his nephew and two grandchildren. So he took them to a protest against gun violence in metro Detroit. "They needed to see for themselves, hear the names of the people and families who have been impacted," Cofield said at the protest outside Eastpointe's Action Impact gun shop on Tuesday. It's where authorities allege Sheldon Thomas, 26, purchased a 7.62-caliber Draco pistol last month and illegally sold it to 19-year-old Ehmani Davis for a profit of $50 outside a White Castle. Davis is accused of shooting and killing Detroit police officer Loren Courts on July 6 with that Draco, a semi-automatic pistol similar to an AK-style rifle but cut shorter, according to the gun shop owner. Davis was then fatally shot by other Detroit police officers. "I'm tired of seeing our kids in the ground," said Cofield, 59, of Detroit. His nephew, Floyd Shepherd, 14, of Detroit, said gun violence wreaking havoc among area youth has made him paranoid. Cofield's grandchildren, Germany Brown, 13, and Frank Stovall, 12, said they both would like to see more responsible gun laws and have felt traumatized by gun violence in their communities. "Our grandpa brought us here so he could show us how to fight for our safety, how to hang around the right people," said Brown, of Eastpointe. Thomas has been charged in federal court with lying about a gun purchase he made in June. The shooting has sparked public outcry. It remains unclear why the suspect fired at officers. Courts was shot while still in his police vehicle upon responding to a 911 call for shots fired. His partner, Amanda Hudgens, tried to save Courts by applying pressure to his wound, with her back toward the approaching gunman, while other officers shot and killed the suspect, police said. Demonstrators outside the gun shop Tuesday held signs that read: "I hope to have as many rights as a gun someday," "Turn your pain into action," "No assault weapons" and "Gun reform now." They also chanted, "No more Dracos!" The owner of Action Impact, Bill Kocyk, confirmed that after last week's shooting, his gun shop stopped selling Draco pistols. He said it's not uncommon after high-profile shootings for people to buy an increased number of the type of weapon used, and he believes that is not a valid reason to purchase a gun. View Quote |

Better idea... Hear me out....
Stop fucking shooting each other, stop shooting at police, and stop acting like fucking thugs! |

So LAWS didn't stop this....
It's where authorities allege Sheldon Thomas, 26, purchased a 7.62-caliber Draco pistol last month and illegally sold it to 19-year-old Ehmani Davis for a profit of $50 outside a White Castle. |

I had a Yugo ZPAP or whatever it was, pistol, in 7.62x39...even had the correct stock kit for it; I was going to SBR it. But...it was loud, ugly, not as handy as you'd think, and expensive to feed...after a while, an 8.5" AR in 300blk seemed like a better idea
I kinda wish I had kept it and followed through with SBRing it...oh well. |

I love how so many of these people honestly believe that it's guns making their communities so violent.

Huh. This wouldn’t have happened without that icky gun. Guess it’s the gun’s fault.
|

So it's the gun shop's fault that the gun was sold illegally (second-hand) and then used to kill a cop?
OK I swear these people are fucking retarded. They don't go after the shooter, they go after the place that legally sold the gun, or the manufacturer that legally made the gun. Blaming everyone except the person who actually committed the crime. At least the bad guy who shot the cop is dead. It should have ended there except for charges against the guy who illegally sold him the gun. But no, they want to blame everyone else. Fucking retards! |

Unfortunately, crime statistics tend to support his argument. Any ban on assault rifles is going to be a ban on sales. The millions of guns already around will support the banger's lifestyles for a long time. Get used to it.

How many times have you’ve seen a woman, or a minority woman purchasing a firearm for her thug man? If you pay attention, lots of times, but the FFL wants to make a sale, or doesn’t want to make anyone upset, or catch a civil suit…doesn’t have to be a woman, just a buyer that sends off a bad vibe….
How about enforcing laws against straw buyers…..and hold FFL licensees harmless if they refuse to sell to a buyer that they don’t want to sell to because the transaction makes no sense? |

How about signs that say NO MORE CRIMINALS or STOP SHOOTING PEOPLE FOR NO REASON.

Maybe its just the extra blurry picture, but does that thing still have the protective condom on the charging handle?

Let dipshits riot and burn cities down for over a year and be surprised when crime stays up afterwards. Citiots gonna citiot.

Why did the shooter have to buy a gun from a third party?
My money says that he was a prohibited person out on the streets because of a liberal DA. |

Make all gun murders a hate crime. That way its a super duper murder crime.

No more dracos? Maybe I'm missing something but that short barrel AK pistol thing seems like basically the worst possible gun to commit crime with. I'd think if the criminals are gonna have a gun, that's pretty much the one you'd want them to have, no?

"I'm tired of seeing our kids in the ground," said Cofield, 59, of Detroit.
I’m unclear. Is Cofield referring to the young cop that was killed or the young person that was killed after killing the cop? Which kid is he upset about? |
