[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2083021, member: 18914"] [URL="http://cnsnews.com/blog/gregory-gwyn-williams-jr/police-chief-within-generation-guns-will-be-taken-streets"]http://cnsnews.com/blog/gregory-gwyn-williams-jr/police-chief-within-generation-guns-will-be-taken-streets[/URL] and for the URL impaired: By Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr. Subscribe to RSS San Diego Police Chief, William Lansdowne said in an interview that the implementation of new gun laws will take guns off the streets of America within a generation. According to San Diego 6, Lansdowne said that it may take a generation but guns will eventually be taken off the streets through new laws like Senator Dianne Feinstein's proposed assault weapons ban: "Chief Lansdowne, who plays an active role in the western region of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) association, said it may take a generation but guns will eventually be taken off the streets through new laws like Senator Diane Feinstein's proposed assault weapons ban legislation. Some of the items his organization is addressing include; a ban on assault weapons, restricting high-capacity magazines, closing loopholes that allow firearm sales between private owners without background checks, and implementing much stricter background checks by using a comprehensive database." Lansdowne called for tougher gun laws in an interview with KPBS, and praised President Obama for his initiative on gun control. "I could not be more supportive of the president for taking the position he has," he said. "I think it's courageous with the politics involved in this process. But I think it's going to eventually make the country safer and certainly safer for my officers that have to respond to these calls." Lansdowne believes that the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut weakened the gun lobby's power and has opened the door for new gun control legislation. "We broke the NRA," Lansdowne said off-camera. Lansdowne's position on gun control appears to be in the minority among sheriffs across the nation, however. As CNSNews.com previously reported, sheriffs from Florida to California have stated publicly that they will not comply with any new gun control measures proposed by the federal government. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It saddens me to see a police chief, any police chief, take this line on a fundamental right. All he should have to do is look north to LA and remember the riots to see what can happen if mobs start to threaten unarmed citizens and business owners. Yet, people who think like this continue to perpetuate the sit tight and wait for Big Brother to come rescue you - don't prepare, don't defend, simply wait. Sad... [/QUOTE]
