There’s an interesting slight-of-hand going on here.
The pollsters ask people if the support extending background checks to private sales. The majority says yes.
Then the politicians introduce bills that outlaw private transfers.
You have to have a background check in Colorado to even move a gun. In case of fire or flood the Sheriff can not help a person move his guns to safety according to our mentally ill legislatures. One of our law gives was so dumb that she thought when you shot all the rounds out of a magazine it was no longer any good.
They don't really have any sense of irony, do they? What was the count on deaths and shootings in Chicago, that shining beacon of common sense on guns, last weekend and this year?
Obama now owns the Police and is telling them what to do
Islamic invasion pulls trigger: Europe now scrambles for guns
One only needs to look at Chicago to see how progressive gun control laws have worked.
International Association of Chiefs of Police
”International” not just American. This includes Chiefs from countries with draconian gun laws. Even most American Chiefs of Police are political appointees.
Not the purchases made by law abiding American Citizens.
Many newspapers are now forcing commenters to use Facebook, so I joined them last year only for that purpose. I tried posting a pro-gun comment there and got this message:
“The content you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may temporarily be unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired, or you may not have permission to view this page.”
Normally, I’d blow this as just another Internet glitch, but this is the third “problem” I have had with Facebook in posting, whereas before, they went through fine.
Anyone else using this medium having this problem? I am viewing this as culling out the pro-gun comments or banning pro-gun commenters.
"Governments are instituted among men...deriving the just powers from the CONSENT of the governed."
It's time we stop consenting, plain & simple.
Sounds like an infringement to me.
They are so STUPID they don’t know the definition of infringed. They have to be FIRST on the cleansing list after Congress.
I have met and dealt with several members that have found that out...yet they continue to send dues and pledge drive money to them
What few know is that the dues and pledge drive money comes out of the city coffers...your tax money.
There are very few, damned few, that actually dig into their own pocket and pay for the membership themselves.
Those that do are stupid.
Same for the Fraternal Order of Police.
The biggest advantage to that stupid bunch of grifters is the tag you can get that announces to all other police that you are a fellow grifter.
I propose:
Background checks before you can steal a firearm.
Background checks before you can buy a stolen weapon.
Background checks before you can buy or sell illegal drugs.
Background checks before you can commit drive-by shootings or spree killings.
Background checks before you an enter the country illegally.
Oh. The Police Chiefs aren’t interested in stopping crime, just in making law-abiding citizens into criminals so they can raid their homes, maybe confiscate some property. It’s good for business.
This is the worst of all cop unions. They are a totalitarian gang.
Yet a lot of “conservatives” reflexively side with these goons. Either they’re just old folks who think it’s 1971 or cynical talk radio “conservatives” who always side with cops because that’s what their elderly listeners expect.
I don’t much care what U.S. police chiefs call for. The Constitution says otherwise. What part of “shell not be infringed” do they fail to understand?
There is no second amendment exclusion of the criminal or the crazy from the right to self defense, either. If you should not be armed, you should not be running around loose.
I am calling for the U.S. police chiefs identified in this to be fired and slapped across the face with a dead carp several times until they get the thought that they do not control my life.
Is there a full list with the cities they allegedly serve?
Police chiefs are employees of politicians, so they will say what they are told to say.
Elected sheriffs, OTOH, broadly support the 2nd amendment.
