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.

His$#%&!@*should be fired because he went against the oath he took…..and maybe even throw his ads in jail for awhile.
Enforce law instead of whine.
Start by taking ur officer’s sidearms. That would be leading by example
Idiot! He should know that guns on the street are not going to decrease with more gun control. Criminals aren’t going to register a gun.
Hey Heffe, gun control only works on people who obey the law. Bad guys don’t respond to laws that’s why they have guns.
He is just a puppet for the city council!
From my cold, dead hands.
lol I’ll trust my gun for self defense over a cops gun any day. 9/10 times people can’t wait 10 to 15 mins+ for the police to show up.
You realize in many places pulling your gun on someone even when you feel threatened can get you slapped with a criminal threatening charge right? Or if you shoot someone robbing you who doesn’t have a gun you can be locked up for a number of charges. Your poorly thought out law would just backfire on people defending themselves.
Take the guns away from the criminals.
