In light of all the 2nd Amendment debate and the debacle that is Virginia and its governor (who I don’t respect enough to even know his name) spouting off about “If we have constitutional laws…” blah, blah, blah. Listen up.
I work in civilian law enforcement. I am also a veteran.
I work with many veterans, some of whom still serve in the reserves or National Guard. In both oaths, military and civilian, we all swore to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States.
We did not swear to obey a tyrant or dictator.
I’ve been in law enforcement for over 21 years. In all that time I have met not one law enforcement officer who was anti-gun. Oh, I know they exist, but they are not being intellectually honest.
You see, law enforcement officers everywhere KNOW that guns save lives.
Guns prevent crime.
Guns stop attacks.
Guns even the odds between the criminal and his would-be victim.
Guns stop stalkers when a piece of paper doesn’t. (Shout out to my dear friend Ann who shot and killed her estranged husband when came to attack again.)
Real cops, not politicians, KNOW that more honest gun owners mean less crime.
If there is anyone wearing a badge that disagrees with this they are a liar- statistics prove this time and again. Literally every state that loosens gun carry restrictions nearly immediately sees a drop in violent crime.
When I am on patrol, I take time to reach out and thank civilians for exercising their 2A rights- yes, even the open carriers. I have detained or arrested thousands of people.
Not one legal carrier has ever threatened me or my partners.
I even joke about one particular restaurant in my town where veterans meet for breakfast. I say if anything ever pops off in here we are all going to die in the crossfire!
The populace has so many guns they cannot be counted. They couldn’t be confiscated even if the government threw every available resource at it."
Police officer to Virginia politicians: We took an oath, and real cops won’t confiscate firearms.
The National Guard won't do it either. Mr Northam was is plan C?
