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.

Then take them off the streets and put them into the hands of responsible citizens to defend themselves with.

I disagree with you – is you support BLM who are known terrorists, then your theory on citizens owning guns is b******t. How often do you see private citizen gun owners out shooting up people and rioting, home invasions, and how about the white man who was just shot while walking his dog by 3 black kids who wanted to rob. Did those black kids go into a legal gun shop and purchase that gun legally. I would be anything they did not – those are the guns you all need to get rid of – not the ones that sit in my gun safe that not shot anyone in 25 years. But there are there if I need them. you sir are a fool.
I love my country and my military weapon of choice was a 20 kT nuclear warhead mounted on an Honest John Rocket. I love my family even more and this jerk wants to deprive me of a gun to protect them?
Gene Coniglio darn, and I thought it was the distance from NY City.
Should have read his oath of office, to uphold the constitution
I believe every citizen, not a mental case, or a felon, should carry a gun if they want, unrestricted.
no too many criminals on the street.
