To understand the whole implication here you first have to understand that Atlanta, DeKalb county and, to a slightly lesser extent, Fulton county's governments are run primarily as racial spoils systems designed to plunder taxpayers and reward black bureaucrats. The primary qualification for high paying appointed positions in these places is the color black, not competence, so Pennington who is massively incompetent, is always looking for someone else to blame his numerous inadequacies on. Second Pennington is a dedicated freedom hating leftist - your total on the liberal Democrap's plantation black bureaucrat. He's dumb as a stump (wouldn't be on the dem's plantation if he weren't), so you can expect him to regurgitate the Democrat's view on this.
The more disturbing thing is that his attitude is very widespread among law enforcement. They ain't there to protect your rights. They're there to collect their salaries and ENFORCE THE LAW. If this were all there was to it, we could live with it, but these clows aren't content to ENFORCE laws, they play a significant role in WRITING them as well. Every major police organization in the state has dedicated lobbyists that push the legislature for fewer restrictions on their powers and more restrictions on our rights. I've lost count of the number of times the Atlanta police lobbyist has supported gun control in committe meetings that I've attended.
A big problem is that the legislators (many of whom have room temperature IQs as well) listen to them. They typical line for the lobbyist is "This will make it easier for the police to do their job." I've yet to hear a legislator respons "It isn't our role to help you do your job, but to protect the rights of the citizens who throught their taxes pay your salary." For that matter their job would be even easier if me all lived in concentration camps with no rights at all, and this is the sort of worldview that Pennington and his massas want.

I spit on them all
Good point. It seems that's the direction we're headed.
When high-paid doughnut eaters fail to recognize the second ammendment as part of the "laws" they are sworn to uphold, the should all turn-in their badges and refund the salaries they've derived from taxpaying, U.S. citizens.
