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.

I’m sure criminals will gladly follow the law and turn in their guns.
hey Edrie,i must confess i love that huge smile on your face,would like to know you more better if you not going to mind,perhaps you can send me a friend request..it’s always a free world with me.
This is why Our Founders had Elected Officials in Law enforcement. To keep them accountable to the People. Appointed Law enforcement can push Their or Someone elses agenda without consequences as We have seen. Especially through Judicial legislation! That should never happen! Today the only Constitutionally recognized actual Police are Elected Sheriff Officials and Their Sheriff controlled Deputies. In some cases Constables are also Elected as are Sheriffs. Otherwise the Police and Federal Agencies are appointed and really not accountable to the Public that pays them. I in no way am down playing the importance of all Law enforcement. I am truly grateful for those Who risk Their lives fighting crime and I also have to acknowledge Our Awesome first responders in Fire and EMS. Never forget the World’s Finest Coast Guard! Thank You wonderful Folks for all that You do in Your Selfless service. I am only pointing out Facts in this post. Not down playing Our Police important roll in Our Communities.
Spoken like a true liberal nut job. Criminals always find a way to obtain guns and most through illegal ways.
More gun control, you idiot. This cop should go to Chicago for a couple of weeks. One of the strictest cities for gun control, so how that’s working out..
