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."

So much for a former Marine, he needs to resign from the FBI.

[K-oneTexas]

Former Marine and former judge. Well no accounting for taste.

[Brilliant]

He’s posturing for a starring role in the Obama administration.

[texson66]

I’m clinging to my weapons because of people like you, Mr Mueller!

[Sprite518]

Muller needs to look at the facts instead of complaining about a right that was given to us at our Nation's foundation.

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

The director of the FBI can go get stuffed.

[HwyChile]

There are a lot of large cities that don’t have handgun bans, and those cities don’t have any greater problems than DC or Chicago or NYC. For example, Houston and Dallas don’t have handgun bans.

[G-Bear]

“...they more often than not harm the people carrying them...”

Does that include FBI agents?

[WayneS]

Mr. Mueller needs to be FIRED immediately. He is violating his oath of office with every breath he takes.

[Dick Bachert]

That cinches it:

If the head FIBber is unhappy, the Supremes did — as we here all know — the right thing.

[ozzymandus]

Wasn’t the Nazi Gestapo also run by a man named Muller? Any relation, or just the same thought patterns?

[Repeal 16-17]

So FBI agents can be trusted to have firearms, but the average American is just too stupid to possess a gun. How condescending.

[pissant]

Muledirt needs to get the hell out of the FBI. Flippin liberal.

[mysterio]

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

In that case, let's disarm the FBI.

[WayneS]

That right was NOT “given” to us.

It was and is OURS.

Our founding fathers merely pledged that our government would not infringe on it.

[CindyDawg]

Not liking what the Constitution says is optional. Following it, isn't.

I don't like a lot of federal laws but I still have to abide by them.

[unkus]

I’m clinging to my weapons because of people like you, Mr Mueller!

That’s it.

[AreaMan]

Sometimes career law enforcement types get the "Us vs Them" bunker mentality and NOBODY but them can be trusted with firearms.

Or maybe Director Mueller is just a politician who has forgotten what it's like to be a regular person trying to survive without a security detail.

[samadams2000]

OMG! What John Ross wrote about in Unintended Consequences is spot on.

[theDentist]

Here you go Director...

...perhaps it'll help you think more clearly.
