Law enforcement, firearm industry and gun owners need to stand together

Written by

I have never seen so many draconian laws proposed.

I have never seen such a focused mainstream media assault.

I have never seen the Executive Branch continuously evangelize gun control.

And it is a truth be darned onslaught - Examples: Biden doesn't seem to know that machine guns are actually legal for civilian to buy/own, mainstream media calls any tactical vest bullet-proof body armor (Lanza and today's MIT hoax). I think if they were wearing a fishing vest they would call it a bulle-proof vest. If a firearm can be called an "assault weapon" it is. If it is a semi-auto of any type it is called out. "Clips" [sic] and ammo, even if not involved (kept at home) are always enumerated.

Never mentioned is how many current gun laws were already being violated. CT has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the Nation! including much of which is being promoted as needed by other states!

They rarily talk about the drugs or medical treatment the assailant had or was undergoing. I hear mental health mentioned (as of late) but little about its failings and how it is going to be fixed. Apparently gun control advocates believe that gun shows are the real enablers to these killers.

The 2nd Amendment is openly being called 'antiquated' and 'obsolete' (because we can pick and choose from it. The anti-gun people and media spin is in overdrive and they are not pulling any punches.

And in response to the above I have never received so much direct correspondence from firearm companies to act and contact my legislators.

Law enforcement seems to be split and this confuses me. Previously I posted a national newspaper article which questioned whether or not law enforcement should even be armed with a poll! This article basically lumped law enforcement with lawful gun owners - it said we were all potential criminals!

When a Canadian Police Officer goes home for the day they are required to CHECK IN their sidearm!

Law enforcement - at the end of the day are civilians. When you retire you are a civilian. I urge you take this into consideration. You may be issued a sidearm today, but what about tomorrow? Please stand with lawful gun owners and oppose these new draconian firearm restrictions -

you know as well we do that a criminal is not going to go to his local police station for a background check.

You know that maniacs are always choose targets that are the least defended and easiest targets. The

Newtown Shooter said he picked the school, a "Gun Free Zone,"

on purpose because of this.

Let me also remind you that New York currently doesn't even honor your right to carry a firearm as professional courtesy - even though it is Federally legislated!

As for vendors/gun companies standing to boycott NY's ridiculous, arbitrary, and ex-post facto new laws:

Here is a recent Y! News Article that talks about the boycott and law enforcement. It surprisingly is a decent article. The criticism is good. I hope that the bigger companies take note. They need to stand with us or they face their buying public being outlawed. The flaw is that they think that they don't realize they face themselves being legislated out of existence too.
