Cops survey refutes gun grabbers


iconWhenever they want to drum up support for their latest gun ban crusade, gun grabbers trot out a long line of police officers to lend credence to their cause. In trying to extend the Clinton Gun Ban which expired in September, the Brady Campaign trumpeted:

Law enforcement organizations that support the ban include:

International Association of Chiefs of Police - (IACP)
Major Cities Chiefs Association - (MCCA)
Police Foundation
Police Executive Research Forum - (PERF)
International Brotherhood of Police Officers - (IBPO)
National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO)
National Fraternal Order of Police - (FOP)
National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives - (NOBLE)
Hispanic American Police Command Officers Association - (HAPCOA)
National Black Police Association - (NBPA)

While a handful of high profile police chiefs and their labor organizations support reining in the freedom of law abiding citizens, the rank and file cops do not.

The National Association of Chiefs of Police released their 17th Annual Survey of Police Chiefs and Sheriffs, and here is what the respondents thought about gun control:

With regard to private citizens owning firearms for sport or self-defense, 93.6 percent of the respondents supported civilian gun-ownership rights. Ninety-six percent of the police chiefs and sheriffs believe criminals obtain firearms from illegal sources and 92.2 percent revealed they hadn't arrested anyone for violation of the so-called "waiting period" laws. When asked if citizens concealed-weapons permits would reduce violent crime, 63.1 percent said yes.
Cops on the street realize that passing another law isn't going to do much to take guns out of the hands of people who don't obey the law any way. Instead it makes their job more difficult by forcing them to harass and chase down law abiding citizens.

Scratch the surface of the Brady claims and the rotten stench of their lies and manipulations will pour forth.
