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 |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
