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.

Tiffany Porter-Carpenter simply because you disagree with ownership of certain firearms we should make them illegal? Most of the people I know do own AR15 rifles as well as bolt action rifles, muzzle loaders etc. If you truly understood the basic rationale behind the 2nd Amendment you would know that home defense and hunting are secondary concerns.
Also, despite having a long history of firearms use and training, including military service, I’ve never seen an “assault rifle” despite many liberal attempts to define the concept. Perhaps you could enlighten me.
Mumford act
He’s right, we need gun control. We need all law abiding citizen to peacefully surrender their weapons. Once this happens, all the criminals will see this as a loving gesture and will in turn lay down their weapons lol
What we need is to fire maggots like this guy who ordered his officers to stand down and watch Trump supporters, many of them elderly, be savagely attacked by leftist terrorist lowlives.
Criminals don’t follow gun control laws. Your only making victims
Police officers who do not understand the 2nd Amendment, like this moron, need to be removed from office. Arm everyone.
Another idiot, if the government and police are the only ones with the so called assault rifle, who would be able to stop them if they go rouge? Prime examples :$#%&!@*Germany, Imperial Japan , Stalin Russia, Cambodia, Mussolini Italy and let’s not forget England 1776
He needs to take the guns from criminals and take the judges off the bench who keep turning them loose and leave law abiding gun owners alone.
So California already has more gun control than virtually anywhere else in the country. Aaaaaand big shock, it’s not working. Can they please stop insulting everyone’s intelligence and admit it’s about their political agenda (socialism) and has nothing to do with public safety.
I’m a police chief, a sheriff, a navy seal, and a sniper, aren’t we all?. We’re fine as we are, quit trying to take or hinder buying guns. It’s ridiculous.
