From the article: "But these sheriffs point to Louisiana movie theater shooter John Houser. They say he was denied a permit in Alabama in 2006. However, Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor says Houser would have likely been given one under current gun laws."
He didn't have a permit. And he didn't need one to take a gun into a public venue and shoot people.
Gun restrictions only affect law abiding citizens. They have no impact on criminals.
These anti-gun sheriffs would be better advised to pay attention to the criminals that are already carrying guns illegally instead of lobbying against laws to remove restrictions on law abiding citizens.
It's LEOs like these that give a bad name to the rest of them. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
