Chief of Police in a large city is a political animal, not a law enforcement officer, so who cares what he thinks.....???......the criminal certainly does! Never a shortage of unarmed victims with these guys. How many are too many? That is a stupid statement all by itself...guns aren't lying on the street waiting to be picked up by criminals and only they have too many guns....one criminal with a gun is too many!!! I did find a survey on this. lepsa.org Majority of Policemen Say "Yes" to the Second Amendment July 16, 1999 The 12th annual survey of all local law enforcement agencies in the United States was released recently. The survey was sent to all Chiefs of Police and Sheriffs in the nation. The National Association of Chiefs of Police in Washington, DC, sponsors the survey. Some of the results are listed below. "Do you believe any law-abiding citizen should be able to purchase a firearm for sport or self-defense?" Yes 92.7% ... No 06%. "Within the past year, has your agency been called upon to arrest anyone who has made a false statement on an application to purchase a firearm? Yes 06% ... No 93.3% "Do you believe law-abiding citizens should be limited to purchase of no more than one firearm per month?" Yes 32.7% ... No 65.8% "Do you believe local ‘gun shows’ are a major source for sales of illegal firearms to criminals? Yes 40.7% ... No 55.8% "Do you believe criminals currently are able to obtain virtually any type of firearm by illegal means?" Yes 97.9% ... No 01.8% "Do you believe the ethical standards of your department are upheld at a higher level than those by elected officials in our nation’s capital?" Yes 93.8% ... No 04.8% "Do you believe the media (TV, radio and print) are fair and impartial in reporting the news?" Yes 08.4% ... No 90.6% "Do you believe the coming year will bring foreign or domestic terrorist attacks that threaten the public trust in our role as guardians of law and order?" Yes 77.7% .. No 18.7% "Do you believe the formation of a United Nations police force may threaten the sovereignty of the United States?" Yes 49.7% ... No 43.7% The survey is clear about many things. The vast majority of police officers in this country believe that law-abiding people have the right to keep and bear arms. They further believe that gun control laws do not keep criminals from obtaining firearms. Furthermore, they are convinced that the risk for terrorist activity is great and that the media are blatantly biased in their presentation of the news. That last statement can be confirmed by the fact that most of the media will not publish the results of this survey. Remember this as you hear Clinton and Gore tout more gun control. Seems counter to your survey.
