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.

He needs to quit police work and become a politician as that’s what he already is.
Yes and lets just expand the police state while we are at it too. How does the fact that I own guns and only use them in a legal manner justify giving up my rights because some abuse their rights? The fact that I am only willing to use my guns in a safe and legal manner makes society safer and stronger. No respect at all for the San Jose Police Chief.
Another Hillary supporter. I wonder why they didn’t stop the attacks on Trump supporters when he held a rally there ? Oh now I remember, he is a Hillary supproter
how can that be in the state with the most gun laws
Idiot
He is despised by his officers.
I believe in gun control. I do not believe in taking guns away from good citizens. Do background checks. Mental health checks. If you are a criminal or crazy, I dont want you to have a gun. I want you to have to get it the hard way if you are determined to get one anyway. If you are a good law abiding citizen, you should have no problem passing both checks and getting a gun. Im all for you owning one then.
The big cities who keep increasing their gun control are the ones whose homicide rates using guns rival the worst third-world nations. This guy does NOT have a clue!
I think he must mean illegal guns,
Perhaps this anti-American shitheel should give up his gun
