[Zakeet]

For some inexplicable reason, James’ statement has become a subject of ridicule among gun owners online.

[Yosemitest]

That idiot should NOT carry a gun.
That idiot should NOT be in the police force.
That idiot should NOT be an American.

The United States Citizens KNOW that they're going to have to fight TYRANTS in their own government.
You cannot protect life, without the ability to take life.

While you are WAITING for the police to respond, someone could be losing their life.
All people of a responsible age should be armed.

As EternalVigilance reminded us:

The Second Amendment IS Pro-Life.

"Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these:
First, a right to life;
Secondly, to liberty;
Thirdly, to property;
together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can.
These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation,
commonly called the first law of nature...
In short, it is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one, or any number of men, at the entering into society,
to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights;
when the grand end of civil government, from the very nature of its institution, is for the support, protection, and defence of those very rights;
the principal of which, as is before observed, are Life, Liberty, and Property.
If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation.
The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty,
it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift
and voluntarily become a slave."




-- Samuel Adams, The Rights of the Colonists

Let us NEVER FORGET THAT !

Let's subjugate them to OUR end game, DUST!
"COMPROMISE" is a DIRTY word!
People who study the Bible know that COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.


It's time to mock the "Gun Control" Zombies!
"Gun Control" is a firm grip, steady breathing, accurate aim (developed by lots of practice), and a slow trigger pull.


The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
We need to learn from the Swiss and implement their "gun control measures" here in the United States right now, today!
These laws are the ones we should shove into the "2nd Amendment Haters" faces.

" Today, military service for Swiss males is universal. At about age 20, every Swiss male goes through 118 consecutive days of recruit training in the Rekrutenschule. ...

Even before required training begins, young men and women may take optional courses with the Swiss army's M57 assault rifle.
They keep that gun at home for three months and receive six half-day training sessions.

From age 21 to 32, a Swiss man serves as a "frontline" troop in the Auszug, and devotes three weeks a year (in eight of the 12 years) to continued training.
From age 33 to 42, he serves in the Landwehr (like America's National Guard); every few years, he reports for two-week training periods.
Finally, from ages 43, to 50, he serves in the Landsturm; in this period, he only spends 13 days total in "home guard courses."

Over a soldier's career he also spends scattered days on mandatory equipment inspections and required target practice.
Thus, in a 30-year mandatory military career, a Swiss man only spends about one year in direct military service.
Following discharge from the regular army, men serve on reserve status until age 50 (55 for officers).

By the Federal Constitution of 1874, military servicemen are given their first equipment, clothing and arms.
After the first training period, conscripts must keep gun, ammunition and equipment an ihrem Wohnort ("in their homes") until the end of their term of service.

Today, enlisted men are issued M57 AUTOMATIC assault rifles and officers are given pistol.
Each reservist is issued 24 rounds of ammunition in sealed packs for emergency use.
(Contrary to Handgun Control's claim that "all ammunition must be accounted for," the emergency ammunition is the only ammo that requires accounting.)

After discharge from service, the man is given a bolt rifle free from registration or obligation.
Starting in the 1994, the government will GIVE ex-reservists assault rifles. Officers carry pistols rather than rifles and are given their pistols the end of their service.

When the government adopts a new infantry rifle, it sells the old ones to the public.

Reservists are encouraged to buy MILITARY ammunition
(7.5 and 5.6mm-5.56 mm in other countries-for rifles and 9 and 7.65 mm Luger for pistols)
which is sold AT COST by the government, for target practice .
Non-military ammunition for long-gun hunting and .22 Long Rifle (LR) ammo are not subsidised, but are subiect to NO sales controls.
Non-military non-hunting ammunition more powerful than .22 LR (such as .38 Spl.) is registered at the time of sale.

Swiss military ammo must be registered IF bought at a private store, BUT NEED NOT BE REGISTERED IF bought at a range.
The nation's 3,000 shooting ranges sell the overwhelming majority of ammunition.
Technically, ammunition bought at the range must be used at the range, but the rule is barely known and almost never obeyed.

The army SELLS a variety of machine guns, submachine guns, anti-tank weapons, anti-aircraft guns, howitzers and cannons.
Purchasers of these weapons require an EASILY OBTAINED cantonal license, and the weapons are registered.
In a nation of six million people, there are at least two million guns, including 600,000 FULLY AUTOMATIC assault rifles, half a million pistols, and numerous machine guns.
Virtually every home has a gun.

Besides SUBSIDIZED military surplus, the Swiss can buy other firearms easily too.
While long guns require NO special purchase procedures, handguns are sold only to those with a Waffenerwerbsschien (purchase certificate) issued by a cantonal authority.
A certificate is issued to every applicant over 18 who is not a criminal or mentally infirm.

There are NO restrictions on the carrying of long guns.
About half the cantons have strict permit procedures for carrying handguns, and the other half have NO rules at all.
There is NO discernible difference in the crime rate between the cantons as a result of the different policies.

Thanks to a lawsuit brought by the Swiss gun lobby, semi-automatic rifles require NO PURCHASE PERMIT and are NOT registered by the government.
Thus, the ONLY long guns registered by the government are FULL AUTOMATICS."

The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
Let's adopt THEIR LAWS !

Remember:

The beauty of the Second Amendment is
that it will not be needed
until they TRY to take it.

Read Second Amendment: It’s Not About Hunting, IT'S ABOUT TYRANNY .

[depressed in 06]

Why does he wear one?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Another political appointee who was promoted above his intelligence.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

FBI to desk-job LEO James: On average, 500,000 times a year the presence of a firearm prevents a felony. Many of these instances of using a firearm for self-defense are women defending themselves against abusive husbands, ex-husbands, and ex-boyfriends.

Taking away firearms will result in thousands of women being attacked and murdered every year.

And the left accuses conservatives of engaging on a ‘war on women.’

[BobL]

So I guess he carries his weapon to go shooting at people for sport?

...since he states it’s not for defense.

[noinfringers2]

Typical social snob. I’ll join the police force so I can have a gun to use at my discretion but my neighbor just isn’t fit to have a gun. All ‘public’ employees place themselves in the ruling class and the ones given guns shower themselves with accolades all the time.

[SargeK]

On another thread, I said that police need to be under the firm control of elected civil authority. I am starting to re-think that as quaint but tragically out-dated.

No one in a police department is more directly accoutable to the elected officials than the chief. Generally, the chief is selected by and serves at the pleasure of the elected official(s). No union, no civil service.

And this is what we get - nearly every time. Just exactly what the elected officials want. We elect idiot petty tyrants and they in turn appoint idiot petty tyrants.

And, OBTW Chief, the 70’s called. They want their dry-look and moustache back. Sheesh, what a soup strainer.

[clee1]

“A gun is an offensive weapon used to intimidate and show power,” he asserted, explaining to the audience that police officers don’t carry weapons to defend themselves, but to do their job in a “safe and effective manner.”

Prima facia evidence as to a) why this idiot should NOT be a cop, let alone a police chief; and b) why "police" should be rare.

Police are the government's "intimidate and show power" arm.

[SoldierDad]

So, if a firearm is NOT ever a defensive weapon, and ONLY an offensive weapon, then, Mr. idiot police chief (I'm trying to remain dignified - okay, so, I'm not) please tell the public what WE are suppose to use to DEFEND ourselves from criminals AND a tyrannical government??? Are YOU suggesting that if, someone is breaking into my home, my only defense of my home and family is to 1) allow these people free reign to fulfill their goals, or 2) call the police to come and DEFEND me with YOUR firearms??????

This man has NO business being in Law Enforcement, let alone being a police chief.

[Amendment10]

Regarding the PC perspective that "the idea that the gun is a defensive weapon is a myth," the Supreme Court has already clarified the following as posted in related threads. The Founding States made the 2nd Amendment to clarify that guns compliment (my word) the natural right to self-defense, with or without the 2nd Amendment.

"The second and tenth counts are equally defective. The right there specified is that of "bearing arms for a lawful purpose." This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed, but this, as has been seen, means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress. This is one of the amendments that has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the national government, leaving the people to look for their protection against any violation by their fellow citizens of the rights it recognizes, to what is called, in The City of New York v. Miln, 11 Pet. 139, the "powers which relate to merely municipal legislation, or what was, perhaps, more properly called internal police," "not surrendered or restrained" by the Constitution of the United States." --United States v. Cruikshank, 1875.

It's too bad that citizens are being intimidated by law enforcement officials who evidently do not know the Constitution that they swear to defend."

[real saxophonist]

There's a girl named Danae, who just turned 23. She was 18 at the time. She is damn glad a gun is a defensive weapon.

I still get free hugs whenever I see her.

[Logical me]

Most officials in this State have their heads up their collective as.......s

[CodeToad]

So his offers carry guns as offensive weapons to attack people? That’s what he said.

[wrench]

So why do cops carry gunz?

[muir_redwoods]

Then lets enhance the safety of all California LEOs by disarming them all.

[drypowder]

this man is a fool. If he honestly believes his own words then how the hell did he ever become chief of anything but the moron ward in a mental hospital? His message just like the other anti-gunners; don't believe your lying eyes (stats and testimony), believe our lies.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

A town of 10,000 and this fool is wearing 4 stars.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Let me try to repair his logical error.

“A gun is an offensive weapon used to intimidate and show power,” he asserted, explaining to the audience that police officers don’t carry weapons to defend themselves, but to intimidate and show power.”

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I’m sure that many things “boggle his mind”.
