I personally don’t give a damn what the National Association of Police Chiefs calls for. The Police Chiefs Association for one does not speak for rank and file officers, they are puppets who speak for the politicians who hire them. A police chief is hired by a mayor, a city manager or a city council and he can be fired by those same people. When the nation’s sheriffs speak up I then listen because sheriffs are elected to office by the citizens of this country and they answer directly to each and every voter. That’s why you’ll never see a group of sheriffs posed in pictures around liberal politicians.

You're 100% correct about that Plains Drifter. Police Chiefs in this country are nothing but political lap dogs for Mayors.

The IAPC has spoken in support of gun control for decades.

It's the International Association. Wouldn't want to leave out all those foreign chiefs. Such as the ones in Moscow, Beijing, Tokyo, London and of course Tehran and Damascus as well as other places with no Second Amendment making more difficult the job of keeping the subjects in line.
