For Americans who support law enforcement and trust them to safeguard both their liberties and their well-being, it is disheartening to hear officers say that the way to protect the latter is by curtailing the former.
San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia is one such officer, as he revealed in an interview with San Jose Inside. Asked about the topics of the day, Garcia not only expressed support for the controversial Black Lives Matter movement, but also voiced opposition to laws allowing Americans to own firearms for their protection.
As one might be wont to point out, a majority of law enforcement officers believe that Americans should retain the right to bear arms, meaning that Garcia is clearly in the minority on the issue. However, his position as chief of police for the 10th largest city in the country means that his opinion will carry weight among the uninformed and be cited by liberals as support for their anti-gun agenda.

Idiot.
Then you have no belief in the 2nd Amendment.
Bet he never leaves the house without his sidearm.
It seems to me that Police Chiefs, who are hired and fired by politicians, tend to be anti-gun. Whereas Sheriffs, who are elected by the citizens, tend to be pro-gun.
He’s a loser
What are these “Assault Weapons” you speak of?
What a stupid statement!
California’s nuts just sell it back to Mexico
Mike Wilson Please don’t tell me what I do or don’t believe in. Do you really believe you have to accept the whole of things to believe in them? I believe in Trump but do not always agree w/ everything he says or does. I am pro-choice but that doesn’t necessarily mean that I believe in all types of abortion. Why would you need an assault weapon to defend your home? Most people don’t own one. Give me a reason why I don’t have the right to say I believe in the 2nd Amendment, please.
