Perhaps Tulsa needs to trade this dumbo in for a better model.

How about trading the freedom of the felons for the safety of society?

Since we’re talking about abridging Constitutionally-guaranteed rights would the Chief be OK with limiting ‘Equal Protection of the Laws’ when it comes to the demographic responsible for most crimes committed with a firearm? Isn’t it time to trade some of that demographic’s freedom for safety?

Sheriffs are elected. Police chiefs are selected.

Naah, just a vote seeking loser.

I was wondering where all the Uvalde cowards had gone. Probably working for this tool.

Sheriffs are elected.

True, and we still got one no better than a bad police chief.

I hate to stereotype the sexes, but if you look at the demographics of gun grabbers, it seems they're 90% middle aged women, mostly white and leftist.

Men have to stand their ground with these harpies and Karens...

Biden mocks Second Amendment supporters, says you ‘need an F-16’ to take on government
Fox News ^ | 6/21/23 | Kyle Morris
Posted on 6/21/2023, 10:46:40 AM by CFW

President Biden took another swipe at Second Amendment supporters Tuesday evening, reminding them that they would “need an F-16” to challenge the U.S. government.

Biden’s remarks at a fundraising event in a private residence in California came as he discussed gun violence in America and stressed the notion that Americans do not need AR-15s.

“We have to change,” Biden said. “There’s a lot of things we can change, because the American people by and large agree you don’t need a weapon of war. I’m a Second Amendment guy. I taught it for four years, six years in law school. And guess what? It doesn’t say that you can own any weapon you want. It says there are certain weapons that you just can’t own. Even during when it was passed, you couldn’t own a cannon. You can’t own a machine gun.… No, I’m serious.”

There's massive 'gun control' in San Francisco and Chicago.. guess this fool wants Tulsa to officially join the cities known as 'hellholes'...

What an idiot.

Cause we know this for sure - the damn criminals aren't going to follow gun laws or any laws for that matter. So this is more liberal bullsh*t to control honest citizens and take away our right to defend ourselves.

there is gun control....the justice system has failed to put the violators of gun control in jail and keep them there....

so just like sudafed, all we law abiding citizens get to jump thru hoops of fire while the law breakers, you know, the ones that don't obey any laws as it is, just get to keep their guns....

we'll be sitting ducks.

Ultimately, I’m a Second Amendment guy...

Uh, no. Your following statements prove that.

…But I’m okay giving up some of that freedom, right?

You may be okay with it, but WE THE PEOPLE aren't. These are OUR rights and not yours to fiddle with.

Besides. These are not "freedoms" These are "God Given Rights"!

We had to give up some of that freedom after 9/11.

How'd that work out for WE THE PEOPLE, Chief? Lousy, that's how. It was a huge mistake. It wrapped government shackles and chains all over us. Perhaps it did make your job easier for you but that is immaterial to us and the Constitution.

I’m okay with waiting three days, five days, or whatever to get my firearm if I go out and purchase another firearm.

Maybe you are okay but we aren't. Where in our Constitution does it even imply something like this?

So I’m okay with a pause to allow for weapons to be purchased and allow the government and the gun companies to look at the background and do a thorough check before that gun goes to someone.

I was not aware "gun companies" are allowed to do background checks, Chief, but maybe I missed that law?

Besides, does government give me a "thorough check" before allowing me to exercise any of my other God-given rights? They are not supposed to, Chief. That's why they are called "rights" and not "privileges".

Your oath is to the Constitution, Chief, and not to spurious efforts for making your job easier.
