Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke has opened up about the recent gun control push by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and Obamas talks regarding an Australian-style gun confiscation plan here in the united States.
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart, Sheriff Clarke was asked about the recent focus change by the IACP from longer prison sentences for criminals to exclusively pushing gun control, partnering with the National Law Enforcement Partnership to Prevent Gun Violence (NLEPPGV).
"I was extremely disappointed when I heard that my fellow law enforcement executive colleagues had gotten into bed with Obama and his gun confiscation mission,' said Clarke. 'That's really what its about. Its not about reducing violence, its not about reducing mass murder or suicides. The real intent of Obama and these gun groups is gun confiscation and they know they are going to have to do it step by step. Theyre not going to be able to go after that today, as there would be fierce blowback. So they are doing it in stealth ways and this IACP meeting is one of those ways.'
Though Clarke said that police chiefs who met in Chicago 'speak for themselves' and not for 'the law enforcement profession,' he was saddened that the IACP had aligned themselves with the NLEPPGV.
'We, in law enforcement, have an obligation to be on the side of crime victims,' he told Breitbart. 'Not on the side of the criminal element. Gun control has nothing to do with the crime and violence that these chiefs see in their cities on a daily basis and they know it. But many of them, especially in your large urban centers, are under the thumb of anti gun, soft on crime, mayors. And they have to sing from the same sheet of music that their mayors are singing from.
'But the crime and violence we see in our cities and counties is not the result of a lack of background checks, and these chiefs know that,' he continued. 'The research and data are there. Criminals dont care about laws in general and they don't care about gun laws or gun restrictions. They will find a way to get around those. And that's why I ultimately say that the chiefs push for more gun control has nothing to do with reducing violence. Rather, it has to do with gun confiscation.'
Clarke also made reference to Obama's speech to the IACP last week, in which he not only made the ridiculous statement, 'I reject any narrative that seeks to divide the police and the communities they serve,' which is clearly the opposite of what he has been doing (just look at Ferguson, New York, Baltimore, etc.), but also said, 'It is easier for young people in this city and [communities around the country] to buy a gun than it is to buy a book.'
Clark believes this type of rhetoric is being used to manipulate the people of America into accepting more illegal gun control measures. So far though, the people have withstood against that temptation, and rightly so.
Both Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton have made reference to Australian style gun bans and open talk of repealing the Second Amendment following the shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon at the first of October.
Sheriff Clarke doesnt believe that Obama will be able to see gun confiscation during his term in office. However, he did show concern if Clinton were to be elected.
'But even they know it is down the road,' he said. 'I don't know how far, but these people are slick, they are stealth in how they go about it. What they do is lay the groundwork, they pave the road approaching their ultimate goal of confiscation.'
'What Obama will try to do with his remaining time in office is further weaken the Second Amendment and frustrate the ability of people to keep and bear arms and purchase guns without having to jump through unreasonable hoops,' he added. 'Then the next person will take it step further, then the next person, then the next, and suddenly you realize gun confiscation is within reach. And that is their goal.'
Finally, Clarke warned, 'Between now and then they will go step by step, slowly conditioning the American people to buy into the lie.'
Already, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has opened the door to an Australian-style gun ban in a recent ruling regarding the New York SAFE Act. These tyrants are moving slowly but surely in a manner reminiscent of the tyrants of our forefathers. Let us remember what our forefathers did when Britain came a calling for their arms, they gave them the lead first!
We can all think of really effective ways to reduce crime, but these methods address criminals while the politico’s address guns.
Most chiefs nowadays are nothing but what those of us in law enforcement term, Admin Weenies. Folks that more than likely didn’t spend a whole lot of time on the street. Tracked their careers in a way to make sure they took all the promotional exams as soon as they could to rise up the ranks as fast as they could. They never spent a whole lot of time getting their hands dirty.
To some, when they look at the resumes of these people, they’re wowed. But to the street cop or the long time homicide detective, it’s easy to see right through these folks to see what they’re all about. These are the ones that climb the ranks all in an effort to get the Holy Grail of LE Executives, an opportunity to go to the FBI Academy. Doesn’t matter to anyone in LE, but to these types that is hitting the lottery. That certificate guarantees them acceptance into a small, exclusive group of people who couldn’t find their ass with two hands and a map. And when it’s time to shop resume’s around, city councils, county commissions, mayors, and city managers will swoon over these type because.....wait for it...they went to the FBI Academy. Then, they help their fellow Admin Weenies get jobs they’re not qualified for, never get the respect of the officers under them and more times than not, f*ck up departments as they go.
These people allow themselves to be pawns to their masters, usually liberal leadership in places all over the country and are more than willing to throw their officers and deputies under the nearest bus to win favor with their bosses.
Point in fact, Sheriff Clarke and Arpaio. You’ll never hear or see them supporting this kind of sh*t. Therefore, they’ll never be the ones that are recruited for jobs. But, they’ll have the respect of their officers and their communities. If not, they wouldn’t keep getting re-elected time after time after time.
But, then again, the whole ‘Admin Weenie’ thing can be applied to pretty much every aspect of life nowadays and it’s no wonder the country is in the shape it’s in.
‘Admin Weenie,’ one of a number of names for self-serving politicians, whether in the military, corporate world or the religious realm. Completely worthless weasels who climb the ladder by backstabbing their peers.
As a former cop who was never interested in anything more than getting my “hands dirty” I agree with your assessment 100%.
I was a lot happier “pushing a unit on graveyard” than I ever would have been sitting on my butt in the station.
“But, then again, the whole ‘Admin Weenie’ thing can be applied to pretty much every aspect of life nowadays and it’s no wonder the country is in the shape it’s in.”
Glad you went here because that is exactly why America is in the crapper.
I’m with ya!!!
If you think about it. Ash Carter, was the darling of everyone when obama picked him as SecDef. He’s a Liberal, policy wonk that has never done anything more than work in an office. Going from one desk job to another, looking at a spreadsheet and making decisions.
The A-10 is a prime example of this thinking. The thing has been around for decades. Still the most lethal weapon in a theater of war. And they want to get rid of it. Doesn’t matter what the Grunt on the ground thinks. What the f*ck does he know?
Questions...
SecDef...Gen MadDog Mattis or Ash Carter
CIA Director....Jack Bauer/Jason Bourne or Leon Panetta
Homeland Security....Sheriff Joe/Sheriff Clarke or Napolitano
The list could go on and on and on. But the thing of it is, the PipeHitters that I listed won’t roll over for anyone and the AdminWeenies would in a minute. Hell, it’s how they show up for work.
The President Who Would Be King hates the United States Constitution.
I always thought those who raise their hands and yell I want to be management. Should be the first ones rejected.
