Father of Slain Boulder Police Officer Says He Would Be ‘Deeply Offended’ by Gun Control Proposals
The father of the Colorado police officer who was killed in the line of duty during a mass shooting in a Boulder supermarket this week said his late son would be “deeply offended” by largely Democratic-led proposals to push gun control.
“My son would have been deeply offended to know his death would be used to promote gun control. Before he was an officer, he enjoyed shooting,” Homer Talley told TMZ about his son, officer Eric Talley. “To take away that freedom completely is something I am against and my son was against.”
Talley added that “just because some wacko goes around shooting people doesn’t mean guns need to be taken away. You can’t take away enough guns to protect this country.”
