This is a great story that debunks the myth that police want stronger gun control. Imbedded in the story is a survey done with police officers across the country ? 80% were active duty officers and 20% were retired police officers.
Here is a tease from the article:
? More than 81 percent said that ?gun buy-backs? do not reduce gun violence.
? Nearly 80 percent said that a ban on private transfers of firearms between law-abiding citizens would not reduce violent
crime.
? 71 percent said that a ban on ?assault weapons? would have no impact on reducing violent crime. 20.5 percent said it
would actually have a negative impact.
? More than 70 percent opposed the idea of a national database of legal gun sales.
? Nearly 68 percent said magazine capacity restrictions would negatively affect them
personally.
? More than 60 percent said that the passage of Obama?s gun control legislation would do
nothing to improve officer safety. Nearly 25 percent said it would actually have a negative impact.
If you are for gun control it is worth you taking the five minutes to read the article. Ant- gun control folks please share with your friends on both side of the issue.
PS, In NY, they are starting to confiscate firearms from people who have in the
past or currently take SSRI drugs like: Prozac and Ambien to name a few. It is worth repeating...
past and current taking of the medication.
