"Emeryville, CA Police Chief Ken James claims it is a myth that guns have a defensive purpose. He says that "Police Officers do not carry a gun as a defensive weapon" and, further, explicitly states that they are carried by officers for offensive use only -- that they use them "to intimidate and to show power."
Does anybody else find this frightening?
EVERYBODY is pro-gun, some just don't know it. When an anti-gun person is in trouble, the first thing they do is call 911 and demand that they send somebody with a gun!
THAT - is a police chief??? And, the head of some police chiefs' organization for CA?? That guy needs a heaping dose of reality with regard to crime and criminal minds, and somegood LEO training in the use of a firearm as a defensive tool. I feel sorry for the policemen who serve on that force.

Yup,
....I feel sorry for his EMPLOYERS, e.g. those he swore to "Serve", when his puppet masters hand him a sheaf of new "Gun Rules".
Somebody asked what he's smokin', .....it looks to me like he's all jacked up on blow. Hell that whole damn bunch probably snorted some before their press conference.

Unfortunately this is the crap that the people in the US are listing to. And when the news plays it enough the people believe it. I wish people were smarter.
Time spent hunting is not deducted from one's lifetime.
[i]Assemblymember Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) today unveiled a bill to regulate the sale of ammunition, and said it was time buying bullets required the same scrutiny as buying guns.
Skinner, D-Berkeley, held a news conference on Monday morning outside the Oakland state office building on the day Alameda County students returned to school after the winter break and in the wake of the Dec. 14 Newtown, CT, elementary school massacre.
�Assembly Bill 48 aims to restrict the bullets that are ravaging our communities,� Skinner said in a statement. �Tragic but true, it is easier to buy ammo than to buy cold medicine, alcohol or tobacco. It�s time for buying deadly bullets to fall under the same controls as guns and Sudafed.�
Emeryville Police Chief Ken James, who also serves as the chair of the California Police Chief�s Association Firearms Committee, said: �Like pseudoephedrine is the precursor to methamphetamine, bullets are the precursor to gun violence. If we can control the precursors, we may avert tragedies like the ones at Oikos University in Oakland, Aurora and Newtown.�[/i]
They need to take a break,....strip off their clothing and March Nude around that Campus of theirs.
Too cold yet, I guess.
Berserkly, California, home of all those old fashioned American core Values,eh?
