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.

Cheryl Baker….Chart Shows Chilling Difference Between Cities With Guns & Cities Without
Guns, liberals constantly scream, cause crime. There’s no way that people could possibly defend themselves without government, they claim, and the only reason anyone would want a gun would be nefarious activity.
The statistics don’t bear that out, though, and here’s a chart to prove it. We’re going to examine a tale of two cities — not the Dickens classic, but the difference between Chicago, Illinois and Houston, Texas. As you can see from this table Breitbart put together, the cities are similar in many ways:
Chicago, Illinois | Houston, Texas
Population 2.7 million 2.15 million
Median HH income $38,600 $37,000
% African-American 32.9% 24%
% Hispanic 28.9% 44%
% Asian 5.5% 6%
% non-Hispanic White 31.7% 26%
Seems pretty similar. Take a look at this, though:
Chicago, Illinois | Houston, Texas
Concealed carry
gun law no yes
# of gun stores 0 84 dedicated gun shops,
1500 places to buy guns
(Walmart, etc.)
Homicides, 2012 506 207
Homicides per 100k 18.4 9.6
Average January
high temp, F 31 63
So, there you have it — the reason why Chicago is a hellhole of gun violence and Houston is an all-American city. It’s because cold weather causes gun violence.

Why do they want your guns? If I had a gun I wouldn’t give it up. But I have a right to own one if I want that is why we are the land of the Free
One man’s opinion. He’s wrong all the way around. That’s just my opinion.

Highest Crime Rate Cities below:
Law Street Media has released their annual list of the highest crime cities in America and there’s a common denominator that runs through the list. Each and every city has a Democrat mayor except the number 10 city which has a non-partisan election, (but let’s face it, it’s Kansas City so he’s probably a Dem too.)
The cities with populations over 200,000 ranked as the most dangerous are:
1.Detroit, MI – Mayor Mike Duggan – DEMOCRAT
2.Oakland, CA – Mayor Jean Quan – DEMOCRAT
3.Memphis, TN – Mayor A C Wharton – DEMOCRAT
4.St. Louis, MO – Mayor Francis G. Slay – DEMOCRAT
5.Cleveland, OH – Mayor Frank G. Jackson – DEMOCRAT
6.Baltimore, MD – Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake – DEMOCRAT
7.Milwaukee, WI – Mayor Tom Barrett – DEMOCRAT
8.Birmingham, AL – Mayor William A. Bell – DEMOCRAT
9.Newark, NJ – Mayor Ras Baraka – DEMOCRAT
10.Kansas City, MO – Mayor Sly James – Independent (but probably a DEMOCRAT)
