“I live in San Diego...”

You have my sympathy.

I never heard of this Lansdowne scumbag but he sounds like he would be more than comfortable with a swastika on his shoulder instead of the stars and stripes.

I lived in California for a long time, and moved out 20 years ago. The gang problems in California’s largest cities was bad 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago, etc. And nothing is done, because it isn’t PC to go after Mexican and black gangs. So they go after the law biding people instead. Now the gang problem has spread to smaller California cities and towns, and to other states.

Police chiefs abd sheriffs who are hostile to the Second Amendment are just as big a threat to our freedoms as Obama and his cohorts.

There they are, the IACP. I’ve been warning people about them, they are fascists.

Janet Napolitano is on the IACP board. Obama was once on the board of the Joyce Foundation which works with the IACP.

The chiefs are union political hacks.

On the flip side, Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu, whose district suffered through the mass shooting that wounded Rep. Gabby Giffords a couple of years ago in Tucson, Ariz

Whoever wrote this article doesn't know Arizona very well. Tucson is in Pima County. Pima County has that idiot Dupnik as County Sheriff who blamed the right for the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords.

A friend sent me the link for a Youtube video called “Why the Cops fear SHTF”. I wasn’t sure what to think when it started off with the assertion that the biggest gang on the streets was not the Crips but the local police department.

By the end of the video I saw where they going with that statement. And it sort of explains why the Police chiefs want the common citizen disarmed.

I neither approve or disapprove of the video, I am just bringing this up for additional discussion.

We did not vote him into office. He was appointed. You make a good point though. The San Diego County Sheriff was elected and he is another liberal scum sucker. His name is Bill Gore. He earned his bones as the leader of the FBI operation at Ruby Ridge.

"The gun lobby's power ..."

According to Open Secrets, the Pharmaceuticals and Health Products industry lobby spent nearly $181 million in 2012. Business Associations spent $122 million in lobbying, the Insurance Industry spent $113 million, the Electric Utilities industry spent $108 million, and the Oil & Gas industries spent $104 million. All in 2012.

According to the same site, the "gun rights lobby" spent ...

... are you ready? ARE YOU SITTING DOWN?

In 2012, this ominous all-powerful influencial "gun lobby" spent ...

... a whopping $5.8 million.

In other words, the Pharmaceuticals industry spent MORE THAN 31 TIMES MORE than "the gun lobby."

"The gun lobby's power ..." is that of a kitten even compared to the Defense Aerospace Industry, which spent $42.5 million lobbying in 2012 -- that's more than seven times the "gun lobby's power."

Claims of being pressured by a "powerful gun lobby" are pure HOKUM.

The disarmed are not citizens. They are serfs.

“San Diego’s Lansdowne, who plays an active role in the western region of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), said in the interview it may take a generation, but guns will eventually be taken off the streets through new laws”

Chief Lansdowne what have been drinking, smoking or popping?

Chief Lansdowne please tell me off top of your size 6 head, give me the last 5 killers you had in San Diego that were also NRA members.

That's really cute, little girl. Now, run along, and iron some shirts. BTW, the police chief is wearing the rank of general in the image posted at the news site behind the link. It appears to be playtime for kids in San Diego.

"Lansdowne suggested the Newtown, Conn., massacre may have undercut the gun lobby’s power and opened the door for new gun control legislation. 'We broke the NRA,' Lansdowne boasted in an off camera portion of an interview..."

So Lansdowne admitted that he and others were behind the massacre? Who's the "we" besides him?

William Lansdowne

Remember that name.
Another delusional small person with a Napoleon complex (should that be updated to 'Obama' Complex?) who believes that those 'old white men' in the late 18th Century, who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor, had no clue what they were doing; or why.

Karma, however, is a bitch.
Good luck to him.

Instead of insulting the journalist, how about directing it to the person who actually expressed the sentiment as opposed to the person who reported the expressed sentiment?

Context is key.

And after a White House meeting with the NRA, Vice President Joe Biden pointedly omitted promising an assault weapons ban that he and the president have long supported, suggesting the White House would focus first on closing loopholes on gun buyers’ background checks and limiting the size of ammunition cartridges.
