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 |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
