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 |
| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
