In the wake of President Obama’s call for more gun control, more background checks, and threats that he is not done with trying to take guns away from law abiding citizens, it is clear that the public vociferously disagrees with him. That is easily seen by the large uptick in gun purchases, fueled by the fear of confiscation by the administration, and by the terrorist incidents that people have seen recently both in the U.S. and abroad.
In addition, there are numerous examples of ordinary citizens having guns in their homes for self protection that led to a more preferred outcome when the need arose. Home invasions have been thwarted by well-trained moms or even kids who were able to defend themselves when a call to the police would have been far to late to do anything but mark a crime scene. And that does not begin to count the thousands or tens of thousands of times that simply brandishing a weapon scared the perpetrator away.
It now seems that even police officers are beginning to get the idea that an armed citizenry can be very important in the battle against crime.

Melvin where have you gotten your information can you please provide a link?
If law enforcement would show as much enthusiasm for the rest of our rights it might be worth listening to them. They are agents of the State and part of the problem of our liberty eroding. They enforce the unjust laws passed by the corrupt politicians prosecuted by corrupt DAs and upheld by corrupt judges. The 2nd amendment exists to protect ourselves against them and not some intruder or invader that shouldn’t be here in the first place if the government didn’t just open up the door and let them in putting us at risk.$#%&!@*the police!
DF – no link, newspaper articles, other posts, news reports, and various firearm friendly publications. Most of the MSM news of these goings-ons are extremely filtered. Additionally, I think we’ve all seen obama (and ilk) trampling over the still warm bodies of the latest “mass” shooting victims in their mad rush to get to a microphone, and/or camera to blame the NRA, Congress, and vilify law-abiding American citizen gun owners for the crimes committed by a criminal. I hear/see so much condemnation directed at law-abiding citizen gun owners with proposed plans to seize their firearms, but nothing about taking guns from criminals. Why is that?
Any real sheriff, normally those that are not retired, fired, and appearing on Fox, will tell you to call 911.
As a trend going on since the early to mid 90s, gun violence has been going down each year and it is not because of any NRA bs story, same goes with police murders, also going down each year.
The GOP, NRA, and red neck gun nuts are so caught up in misinformation they can’t even see the actual reasons and purposes for the bills involving background checks and gun safety. All they see is 2nd amendment attacks that are not even happening. And when you ask for proof, all they can post are insults and conspiracy theories with no evidence.
TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT
Except of course for the executive orders that are trying to be laid at our feet. There’s a lot of BS both ways, if they really gave a c**p about American lives he would have used executive orders to prevent health insurance companies and Big Pharma from screwing over small businesses and the little guy.
Read the executive orders, if there was anything wrong the republicans would have it in court, not on the news
Good job Sheriffs of America..
