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
I do not doubt that this man has good intentions. Nonetheless, he is wrong for thinking that American citizens should not be armed. 1.Every man,woman and child on this earth has a right to defend their lives, their property, and the lives of their family and friends. 2.Police canNOT be everywhere, everytime a criminal or terrorist attacks. The Constitution of the United States gives every citizen the right to bear arms for a reason, so that said citizens can defend themselves. As for his views regarding assault rifles,the man could not possibly be more wrong. At the time the Constitution was written,weapons were single shot,smooth bore,black powder weapons and swords or knives. And the Constitution made no mention of what type of arms citizens could or could not carry. They had the same basic weapons that the military had. If assault rifles had been available, I have no doubt that the framers of the Constitution would have gleefully and with great enthusiasm encouraged citizens to have assault rifles ! The Constitution is NOT living, breathing, evolving entity. It is the Constitution !! Don’t try to “interpret ” it,as if it were a foreign language. It is written in plain English, clearly and concisely, and the framers knew exactly what they were saying.
Another moron
