“There’s absolutely no reason I can see having these weapons out on the street,”
How about to help keep the govt. out of our daily business?
Read The Federal Siege at Ruby Ridge where the f.b.i., b.a.t.f. and other law agencies went beyond stupid.
HOw about to help keep govt from becoming too oppressive?
How about to help keep you and yours safe when good cops aren’t around to help?

"''There's absolutely no reason I can see having these weapons out on the street." Well, what do you expect from a ex Boston coat holder for various liberal/leftist/Democrats? How about for their Constitutional intended purpose? To violently overthrow the government and its organs of oppression? You know, like an armed militia? On the move? Like half the police, and half the military?

"There's absolutely no reason I can see having these weapons out on the street," he said. His honor, the good Mayor doesn't seem to comprehend that the right of the people to keep and bear arms does not hinge upon his understanding of anything.

I think you might be painting with too wide of a brush. There are many fine men who become LEOs, although I have met a few who got into police work because of an inability to master the Fryolator 3000.
Police Chiefs are a different catagory altogether. Most have mediocre police skills at best but excel in office politics. Also, in many (liberal) cities, having a leftist political orientation is a big plus for promotion. I wonder how many police chiefs actually believe the bravo sierra they spout. I suspect more than a few say the stupid things they do just to impress the city council and the liberal voters who elected them.

His job is to support our constitution. Even the parts, like the second amendment, that he seems to despise. If he won’t respect, support, and enforce our constitutional rights then he should be fired and replaced by someone who will.
The way this works is simple. If the liberal cops and judges do not take violent criminals off the street then those criminals commit more violent crimes. At this point the liberal cops and judges who didn’t do their jobs get to blame the guns, President Bush, the NRA, and conservatives for a violent incident that they themselves allowed to happen
I hope you noted that there is no mention of the liberals actually blaming the criminals for the violent acts that they committed.
It is exactly that simple!!!!!!!!
They get away with it all the time. We the people need to make our point very clearly. If you can not or will not do your job without taking away our constitutional rights then you need to be instantly fired and we need to find someone who can do the job. We do not need to hear you anti constitution and anti gun crap. We need you to protect and serve the people and not play god.

This jack-booted thug should get pepper-sprayed in his arrogant, fascist looking face.
More cops get killed by illegal aliens than get killed with “assault” weapons, and what they’re talking about here are semi-automatic weapons...one squeeze of the trigger, one round. Assault weapons are fully automatic machine guns.
I’ll say it again....more cops get killed at traffic stops by armed illegal aliens or drunk driver illegal aliens than get killed by semi-automatic rifles.

This club of law enforcement bureaucrats would call for the banning of all private ownership of firearms if it knew it could get away with it.
We just came out of a 10 year period where so-called "assault weapons" were "banned". Of course he who controls the meaning of words controls the debate. What was "banned" and how was it "banned"? The answer: guns that were too ugly.
Putting the Second Amendment aside, to the supporters of the "ban", just what do you want to "ban" and are you willing to pay to confiscate these weapons? Please tell me why one of these firearms should qualify under the last "ban" and why the other one didn't:

Let me add my thanks to Model1sales.com for the hotlinks.
"Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez, a former police officer and police director, gets angry when he talks about the fact that the gun used to kill Officer Jose Somohano was legal. ... His voice rising, he brings up Shawn LaBeet, the man who killed Somohano and shot three other officers: ``This guy just went to a gun store with a fake ID and bought one.''"Can't make up your mind dipstick?

Police chiefs are politicians. They say anything necessary to keep the office. That includes placating liberal city councils that appoint them or liberal voters who elect them in cases where they are not appointed. Few of them are individuals with a spine and principles. I freely applaud the minority that do have principles in accordance with our Constitution.

The solution is not banning certain kinds of weapons, because criminals will not obey the ban. Duh. The problem is, the profile for someone who would use that type of weapon on a cop is someone who has worked his way up to murder. Possibly already committing some. We always hear about how these cop killers are recently released from prison, or have a rap sheet a mile long of assault and robbery arrests. If the cops and the courts did a better job of putting scum away after a couple of car thefts or burglaries (which they never bother to even investigate) they probably would not have to face hoodlums with AKs or other weapons. Get ‘em while their young and less dangerous.

They always wanted to keep the ban on assault weapons. The LEOs getting shot in FL shortly after the biggest school masacre in US history gave them the perfect excuse to go for reinstating it. The guy who shot the cops was an ILLEGAL ALIEN. Why aren't the police demanding illegals are deported? Another ILLEGAL killed a police officer in AZ yesterday too.
The police know that criminals are NEVER going to give up their guns. I don't think any of us will either. Times have changed since the first ban. We're at war with people whose only purpose in life is to kill Americans. We are being invaded by criminal illegal aliens. The government is filled with arrogant, greedy, power hungry, traitors, criminals and cowards, and they think we're going to give our guns up. HA HA HA! Not in this life time!!
