Most comprehensive survey of Law Enforcement Officers ever conducted! Given by PoliceOne, an organization for law enforcement officers. I think this is a very good tool to have when talking with anti-gunners about gun control. They always talk about how the police are supposed to protect them - well guess what? A majority of the police think those people need to protect themselves.
Conclusion of the survey?
Bottom Line Conclusions
Quite clearly, the majority of officers polled oppose the theories brought forth by gun-control advocates who claim that proposed restrictions on weapon capabilities and production would reduce crime.
In fact, many officers responding to this survey seem to feel that those controls will negatively affect their ability to fight violent criminals.
Contrary to what the mainstream media and certain politicians would have us believe, police overwhelmingly favor an armed citizenry, would like to see more guns in the hands of responsible people, and are skeptical of any greater restrictions placed on gun purchase, ownership, or accessibility.
The officers patrolling America?s streets have a deeply-vested interest ? and perhaps the most relevant interest ? in making sure that decisions related to controlling, monitoring, restricting, as well as supporting and/or prohibiting an armed populace are wise and effective. With this survey, their voice has been heard.
