FBI Chief Unhappy With Supreme Court Ruling

The director of the FBI is not happy with the Supreme Court's recent handgun ruling.

Robert Mueller says he tends to believe that "weapons harm people, and more often than not they harm the people carrying them."

Mueller said the high court's decision, which threw out a handgun ban in Washington, D.C., "does throw a lot of things up in the air."

Mueller said communities will now have to decide their own licensing programs.

Mueller was speaking at a convention of the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators in Hartford, Connecticut.

He says with his grandchildren going to college, he hopes "those campuses will be weapons-free."

I’ve never been harmed by the weapons I carry...well unless you count the black eye I got from my scope once when I wasn’t holding my rifle properly.

Thanks W!

“Robert Mueller says he tends to believe that “weapons harm people, and more often than not they harm the people carrying them.”

So cops and the FBI will immediately stop carrying firearms?

This from a man with an armed escort. I’ll take J Edgar in a dress anytime!

Robert Mueller says he tends to believe that "weapons harm people, and more often than not they harm the people carrying them."

So when is he going to issue that order directing his agents to keep their handguns at home?

I’ll sure be glad once we get a republican administration back in the White House.

Amen to that. Eight years of a liberal with an "R" next to his name.

“Robert Mueller says he tends to believe that “weapons harm people, and more often than not they harm the people carrying them.””

Any fool can open his mouth about what he “tends to believe”, one would think the head of the FBI would be more circumspect and factually grounded before publicly ejaculating a mythology.

What he “tends to believe” is totally incorrect:

"I say the Second Amendment is, in order of importance, the first amendment. It is America's First Freedom, the one right that protects all of the others. Among freedom of speech, of the press, of religion, of assembly, of redress of grievances, it is the first among equals. It alone offers the absolute capacity to live without fear. The right to keep and bear arms is the one right that permits "rights" to exist at all."

Robert Mueller says he tends to believe that "weapons harm people, and more often than not they harm the people carrying them."

Cars harm people, and more often than not they harm the people driving them.

Wow. 100% pure anti-gun propaganda. I didn't realize that the Director was a member of the VPC/Brady crowd.

I ran into a table edge once. Wouldn’t have been so bad but I had my full sized Witness 10mm in a “SmartCarry” holster. Forced the thumb spur and hammer into my stomach just below the belt line.

2012 at the earliest....

I think we need a new FBI chief.

Fear the government that fears your guns.

The old saw about opening your mouth and proving you're stupid fits Mueller here.

Are there any men in Washington?

Do we think we are free of double agents in the FBI ?

[JayAr36]

Sounds about right coming from the Chief (Fumbling Bumbling Idiot).

[Mr. Silverback]

OK, so the guy in charge of the government agency that compiles crimes statistics thinks that people who own firearms have a strong tendency to be injured by said firearms.

Good grief, that’s like the head of the National Weather service thinking that thunder is the sound of angels bowling.

Just like Virginia Tech no doubt.
