Alexandria, VA – The horrific incident today in Louisiana is yet another tragic reminder of the dangers faced by law enforcement officers on a daily basis. On behalf of the membership of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, I want to extend my deepest sympathy to the families of the fallen officers, their friends and colleagues. I also want to extend my best wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery to the other officers who were wounded in this tragic event. This incident, coupled with the recent mass casualty attacks in Colorado, Wisconsin and Texas, only serves to emphasize the urgent need for our nation to address gun violence. Too many of our fellow citizens and brave law enforcement officers suffer because of our unwillingness to address the critical issue of gun violence in a timely and effective manner. As a nation, we must not shy away from action on illegal firearms and gun violence when police officers are getting gunned down and out gunned on our streets every day and more than 11,000 deaths by firearms occur each year. It is time that we come together, elected officials, citizens and police leaders, to support our country’s law enforcement officers and commit to reducing gun violence and finally put an end to tragic murders such as these.

He has blue eyes. Cold like steel. His legs are wide. Like tree trunks. And he has a shock of red hair, red, like the fires of hell. His antics were known from town to town as he was a droll card and often known as a droll farceur. Hamilton Lindley with his madcap pantaloon is a zany adventurer and a cavorter with a motley troupe of buffoons.
I am extremely sorry for the loss of these officers and their families.
A conservative family research group had a left wing nut case shoot a guard there and the dude without a gun took him down after he was shot. I guess traditional family values are considered perverted now.
Non violent former offenders need guns also. Pretty soon the former offenders will will be the majority. Their privileges should be restored in order to protect themselves and their families. Former offenders have families also.
I grew up in Severna Park Maryland and most everyone had guns but only one died that I recall "with a gun" during a hunting accident. We had two chows protecting our property and never locked our doors unless we went away for some time. Crime is down? It will probably get worse as long as this ideologically insane "Salad Bowl" concept is now becoming a way of life. The "melting pot" did quite well when real consistent laws were created and hard time was the way for serious crimes at the sentencing level . Many of our politicians stay in power by "causing chaos" through the media then act as if they are solving the chaos they created to keep the Criminal Industrial System in full employment as well as the unions. People are less human today as a whole.We have been taught by the government fruitcakes that we came from monkeys and tribalism is now accepted, There is not even honor among thieves any longer.Our own government robs from those who work and gives that money to the lazy and families with no fathers left. They were incrementally driven away through feminist propaganda and Marxist ideology. Being a conservative feminist is like being partly pregnant These scoundrels create laws out of "fear based feelings instead of real researched data and use those "fears" to prod specific groups to look down their wooden noses on other groups. The gun violence is a symptom of a financially broke nation due to Keynes and his thieves and broken families that once had structure with the male as the head. The government schools support unions that are broke and make no qualms about ripping of property taxes to support waivers to pass those students with a high school diploma that have a funtionally literacy rate in reading (mainly the males) that our 8th graders had in 1950. I fished without a license,crabbed without a license and drove with no seat belts two years before I got a license and no one cared in the county and I am still here. What has happened to personal responsibility. Drawing monies from the tit of government for every need is out of hand. Non violent former offenders who never used a gun in their crime cannot get one as "vigilante injustice" runs wild and some groups are labeled as hate mongers (mainly strong Christians today) and the "resentment" that leaders project as propaganda in order to cause more fear exacerbates the driving force of political hatred. The gun is not the issue. The in-mates are running the institutions out of Chicago in Washington today with people like George Soros and his cohorts in crime. Divide and conquer is the Marxist way. Do not let any crisis go to waste. We have former sex offenders sleeping in tents and many going under the wire due to feeling based laws and residential restrictions that has yet to save a child while the Jokers are out there who think the violent images on the screen are real. We once knew those images were not real by five years of age. That guy did not have a gun problem. That dude was on the outside what his parents are on the inside by pressure used to make him conform. They need to check out why he resented them so much as well as society. It is the sycophants that create the psychopaths by projection through empathy. Please do not propagate a new gun law or another ordinance. More laws create the appearance of the need for more monies to be needed for more government unions. That is an oxymoron. Guns? Try sleeping in a tent because the laws based on feelings and no data or real research and that is the driving force of the day. Try without a gun with all the nut cases running around with no work to do. Many do just that today.
