Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police AGAINST Feinstein Bill

[53convert]

Subject: Gun Control
It is reported that during a Wednesday hearing in Washington DC, Senator Feinstein of California stated two members of the Oklahoma Association of Chief's of Police were present.

Neither member spoke in favor of additional gun control in the form of Feinstein's "Assault Weapons Ban". By inference, some people have drawn the conclusion that OACP is in favor of Feinstein's legislation.
That is simply not true and the truth is as follows:

The vast majority of the membership of the OACP favor strengthened firearms purchaser background checks, particularly adding Oklahoma mental health records to the federal system.


Additionally, a large majority of our members are NOT in favor of the banning of any firearms in Senator Feinstein's proposed legislation. We simply do not believe banning additional firearms will not significantly impact gun violence.

How about a statement from the OACP?

If the OACP is against the bill, they might suggest that Oklahoma police chiefs stop accepting paid vacations to Washington D.C. from organizations like NOBLE and other groups that are on the list of organizations that support Feinstein's bill.

I'd love to see MORE pro-second amendment law enforcement officers taking free trips to Washington on the anti-second amendment group's dime and then publicly speaking out against gun control. Just remind them to get a round trip ticket first.

How about a real official press release reported in the media or calling a press conference to clarify their stance for starters? A unverifiable second hand email on a internet forum doesn't pass the smell test. Trust but verify.

Maybe it was sent to the media outlets and didn't get to print, or was a tiny font on page XXX.

How about plastered on the front page of their website?
