No surprise, the group that wanted it’s members exempt from the Lautenberg domestic violence act oppose citizens being armed.
Worth noting that the libs are using quotes from like a decade ago and people no longer in the offices they cite… there was a piece on this at Ammoland a few days ago.
The fact that conservatives support LE has always baffled me. All LE does at this point in the US is protect the Left and their violent aggressor wing.
If gun confiscation becomes a thing, who do conservatives think will come for their guns?
It’s the stupidest thing…
The same LE that is being cheered on for arresting illegals and Antifa protesters is the same LE that was arresting grandma for praying on a sidewalk, a pastor for reading scripture in public, arresting a guy for surfing on an empty beach, watched BLM beat churchgoers, pepper balled folks sitting in their porch while the inner city burned, spying on and lying about a sitting president, etc……. They are merely following orders and will continue to do so.
the bill would strip officers of qualified immunity and make them open to personal lawsuit by any person “who is deprived of any right, privilege, or immunity”.
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, this provision would only apply to the officer involved in a concealed firearm incident and not ALL LEOs nationwide in ALL circumstances. BUT never let perfect be the enemy of good, at least it’s a start.
Using QI to violate the 2A got brought up by the anti rights crowd due to court cases siding with the 2A as a right.

That demonstrates how much of an outright lie cops puke up when they claim QI only protects cops who have done nothing wrong.
Was looking for something else and happened upon this old post that pairs well with a current debate
Yes, they are “hired guns”. They do the bidding of whomever signs their paychecks. Always remember that. This is especially true of Fed LEO’s, they wax and wane from one administration to the next. At least local cops usually reflect their AO and can be more predictable.
Thats some crazy stuff right there.
