Cops Against Gun Control


Geek notes that San Francisco Police Officers have come out against the citywide handgun ban. The SF Police Officers Association released a statement saying that not only do they think that banning handguns from law abiding citizens would do little to stop crime, but that they have deep reservations about carrying out the door-to-door confiscation.

Be sure to read the whole thing.

Here's your reason right here-

�....And it should be noted that no exemption for retired members of our association or other law enforcement agencies is stated in the proposal....�

Because otherwise, you know, it would be OK.

S.M.: I think you are correct. Police officials used to be pro gun ownership. (Made their job easier.) Now it seems rare to find the same.
Watch for a change in the law to match SM's observation, and the measure will get police support. This is San Fran after all.

I wouldn't paint it with that shallow a brush. If you RTWT, then you will see that they also flat out refute that gun control has any meritorious effect on violent crime, and cite Lott and others. This one is firmly on our side.

Has Screaming Eagle gone off the deep end?


After reading the article and part of the website I am wondering if Hell has froze over.
