Let just the thugs carry!
Sounds like Marxist Bill Deblasio finally found a police commissioner who will agree with his politics.
“He suggested more guns will only lead to more violence,”
I cant even explain how this imbecile got this job.
Any LEO who comes out against anything 2A probably shouldn’t be in law enforcement.
If the NYPD Commish says so, then that’s it, I guess. I mean, New Yoork’s da tough, softistacated City, right? So, dey should know what’s best for everyone.
Every piece of evidence suggests the opposite.
This was the opening story on “60 Minutes” on Sunday evening, as I happened by while channel surfing. Here was Steve Kroft leading in with mentioning how Mississippi is a concealed carry state and has (purportedly) one of the highest gun death rates in the country. What he likely doesn’t tell people is that if you were to factor the black on black violence rate in the urban area of Jackson, that state is probably not that bad at all concerning something like that.
I wonder if Mr. Kroft made people in Vermont and Maine know about this situation involving gun violence death rates and concealed carry and the concerns of Commissioner O’Neill, given the supposed infinite wisdom of CBS journalists.
Just pass the bill already.
For liberals, “The Bill of Rights” is insanity.
Freedoms of speech, religion, assembly, petitioning the elite; guns; due process; states’ rights - all outdated if they ever made sense.
If liberals decided to have soldiers live in our houses, I’m sure they’d call us insane for not allowing it - it just hasn’t been an issue so they haven’t given us their opinion.
Police Chiefs & Commissioners are political appointees.
Since most major city Mayors are Dems, the top LEOs are hacks who were neutered prior to elevation.
Their pronouncements on “effective law enforcement” only reflect policies that have failed for decades.
They are happy to have the Mob and gangbangers run the streets at the risk of the lives of law enforcement and law abiding citizens.
The man is a blithering idiot.
“NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill will remain the top cop for at least four more years, he and the mayor announced in a press conference at City Hall on Thursday.”
I think we’ve found the genesis of his remarks! NYC, where literally thousands of thugs carry guns on a daily basis, and they think that national reciprocity would be a bad thing.
> He suggested more guns will only lead to more violence <
Hmm... I read the whole article. Funny how there’s no mention of Commissioner O’Neill disarming his own bodyguards.
An armed society is a polite society.
NYPD Commissioner Francis Reagan aka Tom Selleck most likely disagrees with Commissioner O’Neill on this one.
Wanna hear something even worse? If you are Police Officer, employed outside of the five boroughs, you can not carry a firearm within the five boroughs. If you are a Yonkers PD officer and want to take your family to Radio City to see the Christmas show, you cannot legally be armed. You can be a New York State Trooper and be assigned to Troop L, on Long Island and cannot carry legally in the city. Guys took their duty weapons with them, so if they got hassled, NYPD would have to explain to the Bosses of their agencies, why they took the weapons.
“Moreover, the Crime Prevention Research Center (CRPC) has shown that concealed carry permit holders are among the most law-abiding of law-abiding citizens. To highlight how just how law-abiding concealed carriers are CPRC juxtaposed crimes by police versus crimes by concealed carry permit holders. They used Texas permit holders as their sample.
CPRC showed that from January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2007, the yearly rate of misdemeanors and felonies by full-time police officers was .102 percent. On the other hand, the yearly rate for Texas’ concealed carry permit holders in the year 2015–the year campus carry was signed into law in that state–was .0102 percent.”
The meat and potatoes of this article.....imho.
So the Founders were insane?
There are over 100 million of legal gun owners with trillions of rounds of ammunition. So, we’re the ones who’re dangerous?
Street gangs: “Permits? We don’t need no stinkin’ permits”
