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.

the constitution which you swore to protect and defend gives me the right to own a firearm to protect myself from people who would do me harm or take away a RIGHT of mine like you just said you would if you could.
What’s world class moron.
COMMING FROM THE LAND OF LIBERAL$#%&!@*ITS NO WONDER A NUT WOULD THINK THIS WAY.
I recall people being beaten pretty severely when leaving a Trump rally in his city. Too bad the normal folk were not packing that day.
What do you expect from a Bay Area Official. Come to Northern (Superior) California where real freedom loving Americans live.
Hey Mr. Chief, the facts say otherwise……..
Political pandering moron!
What a$#%&!@*
I hope they vote you out of office soon.
This guy lacks common sense. In his profession I expect more. Especially with his position in the force. There are already numerous state and federal gun laws on record that, if enforced with strict and stiff penalties from his states Judiciaries would be more than effective. More laws are not the answer Chief, but please educate yourself more on this issue before you say something as uninformed as your statement. Also, please be aware in case you do not know this Chief. CRIMINALS DO NOT FOLLOW LAWS!!!!
