Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
Police screening should be mandatory. It should start when they apply to attend the academy or apply for a job with a department (depending on what the proceedures are for your state.) Any earlier is called spying; any later would be foolish.

Yes, it is called fraud. It is a kind of theft - taking something (a service or property) that doesn't belong to you. Oftentimes it is a felony.

Yes

I'm confused by the concept of "stricter regulation." There are thousands of laws and regulations on the books now that regulate the purchase and ownership of firearms and ammunition in the United States. There is an entire federal law enforcement agency dedicated to the enforcement of gun laws (and who gets to make arbitrary regulations regarding the legality of different types of firearms, importation, etc.).
Murder, which I presume is what you would like to stop, predates the invention of firearms. It is already illegal, yet it still happens every day. People have tried to prevent people from murdering others for centuries, yet no one has been able to do so.
What stricter regulation on a firearm do you suppose would stop murder?
Evil exists. Real, true evil exists in the world. Some people don't want to believe it, but it does. Evil people will not obey laws and will harm and kill others no matter what laws you put into place.
- I oppose new gun regulations in all forms.
- I support the repeal of many current gun laws.
- I support the disolving of the BATFE.
- I support the right of all citizens to use that force which is reasonably necessary to defend themselves and others from attack and forcible felonies.
- I oppose anyone who would take away the freedoms of any law abiding citizen including the rights to privacy, speak out, assemble, practice a religion, engage in commerce, and keep & bear arms. To quote Thomas Jefferson, "The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." In other words, if a man -without reasonable cause- harms another, then the goverment has authority to act. But, unless and until that happens, a government has no authority to interfere in the lives of free men. I should not tell another man how to live, nor should he tell me how to live my own life.
Pursuing more restrictions on lawful gun owners serves no moral purpose, but only serves the purposes of evil - preventing people from a legitimate form of defense from criminals and illegal governments.

I'm not sure what you mean by "using her sister's officer position as a shield." Regardless, it would appear you need to find another girlfriend.
