Officers Emphatically Say “NO” to Gun Control.

[MN Tonester]

I work for a small city police department. I can emphatically state that the majority of officers oppose gun control and would much rather see "criminal control." Many of the officers hunt (as was mentioned in the survey background). The police officers that are pro-gun control are those who are political appointees and often reflect the agenda of the mayor/council that appoints them. We had a deputy chief that was of that sort but happily, he retired. He recently was in the running for Chief of Police and the rank and file were pretty concerned. He didn't get the job but has now been given the position of city "human rights" commissioner. The guy likes to celebrate "diversity." He is outspoken for gun control. Yikes!
