Police Chief Jim Cervera is calling on Congress to pass stricter gun laws like universal background checks.
"All the recommendations that we're asking for are totally reasonable," Cervera said in an interview on Friday.
Cervera recently returned from a meeting with other police chiefs from around the country. He's a board member of the Major Cities Chiefs Association. During the meeting, the group updated its firearms violence policy to include calling for more background checks, banning high capacity magazines, and reinstating the assault weapons ban. |

"I see how many weapons that my officers are taking from bad guys every day," he said.
We have no problem with you taking guns from bad guys, chief, it's taking guns from GOOD guys that we refuse to accept.
And chief, the root of the word "rational" is "ration", and to ration is to restrict, and to restrict is to INFRINGE.

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
