.It makes me uneasy when police officials start saying things like they don't care if something is constitutional or not. The author of that statement should [STRIKE]retract it[/STRIKE] be cashiered or found a desk job .
And to make this worse, some rather disingenuous "Progressive" pundits and bloggers are saying: "See, the GOP are a bunch of hypocrites!" while of course, leaving out the fact that it wasnt the GOP that called for the "ban" :\
An armed society is a polite society.
"I don't care if it's constitutional or not..." should never be said by someone in a position of authority.
So what makes an openly carried firearm more deadly than a concealed firearm?
If that's the case maybe it's time I switched to open carry.
“We are going to be looking very, very hard at anyone who has an open carry,” he said. “An AR-15, a shotgun, multiple handguns. It’s irresponsible of those folks — especially right now — to be coming downtown with open carry AR’s or anything else. I couldn’t care less if it’s legal or not. We are constitutional law enforcement, we love the Constitution, support it and defend it, but you can’t go into a crowded theater and scream fire. And that’s exactly what they’re doing by bringing those guns down there.”
I don't even know where to start.

So many facepalms.
He was on one of the morning shows this morning> I think the Today Show. He assured us he is very pro 2nd amendment along with all of the other officers.
